Is an IMS supervisor only offering 3 year long MSc projects a red flag?

I have been conditionally accepted to the IMS but have been struggling to find a supervisor. I have been talking to one supervisor who I get along with well and I like the research of. They however say that the only projects they have available are historically only able to get fruitful results in 3 years (4 students have done this in the past, most took 33 months).

This has me questioning if I should take this opportunity that seems pretty good in most other measures, or not and try my luck elsewhere. Is a 3 year MSc common, or is it a red flag?
