Been a long time.
Last year I got hit with some major work issues. Between April and September last year I had 2 days off. Worked on 2 large projects simultaneously. Stopped all gaming and GM'ing for several months. I am rebooting my Traveller campaign tomorrow. 6 players, all brand new characters.
Here is the chart I came up last year. Please feel free to comment, add your own tables, charts etc... just my idea on how to expand misjump events.

12 Table D, Temporal Event
TABLE-D –Temporal Event
Time can pass the same in Jump space and Normal space, sometimes time can pass differently between the crew of a ship while in Jump Space and the rest of the universe in normal space. So sometimes a crew can enter jump and spend 2-3 weeks in jump (assuming they have enough food and water) while in normal space only a week passes. In the revere situation, a crew can spend a standard week in jump, but when they exit, 2-3 weeks have passed in normal space. In extreme instances this can be months or years, moving forward or backward in time
3D6
03 Normal Distance, add 1d6 days in both Jump and normal space)
04 Normal Distance, add 2d6 days in both Jump and normal space)
05 Normal Distance, add 3d6 days in both Jump and normal space)
06 Normal Distance, normal time in Jump, add 1d6 days in normal space
07 Normal Distance, normal time in Jump, add 2d6 days in normal space
08 Normal Distance, normal time in Jump, add d66 days in normal space
09 Normal Distance, normal time in normal space, add 1d6 days in Jump space
10 Normal Distance, normal time in normal space, add 2d6 days in Jump space
11 Normal Distance, normal time in normal space, add d66 days in Jump space
