Even if the project plans to pack gamma irradiate and then package in nitrogen, it wont preserve everything.

It just has to preserve enough. 20% wastage of perishables is acceptable.
Heck, with enough redundancy, higher proportions are OK.
Finding out what's gone off is going to be pretty gross for the team, but it's another sign that they have overslept.

That is another reason I like using the team is trapped in a time bubble (where time outside passes thousands of times faster), as opposed to cryosleep. It solves the decay issues.

This brings up far bigger issues than supply spoilage because you've given the Project the ability to manipulate cosmic levels of energy. Why didn't they use stasis tech to win the Cold War, prevent WW3, or migrate to another solar system and settle a habitable world there?
(The ability to manipulate space time implied by temporal stasis makes interstellar travel
much easier).
