I have yet another dumb question: Is it really possible to design and build a lunar lander, and have it reviewed and accepted by NASA in the time allowed?

Dark side of the moon would be a nifty place for a telescope.

Bigger question, do they have the authority to tell someone else they can’t risk their life?

Try and grow a few crops on the moon. All the things needed for that will make for some interesting problems to solve.

USe an off the shelf electric propulsion system for an electric car. Better just buy a Tesla and give it monster tires

With proper design a telescope could be useful even when the sun is up, since there is no or very little atmosphere.
If that's not good enough, build two, one near the west and the other near the east far side, the time both are in sunlight at the same time would be relatively brief.
Radio telescopes could be better.
Figure out the best way to make building materials out of available moon material.
Figure out how to best dig down and make underground habitats, which would make better protection against radiation and meteorites than anything on the surface.
Discover and catalogue as many moon minerals as possible and figure out if each of them can be made useful for anything.
Find something that will make the whole adventure pay for itself.

In order to be selected, projects must be able to fly no later than December 2021. Proposals are due Nov. 19. But if that deadline is coming up too quickly, don’t panic - NASA says it will look for another round of suggestions in about a year.
To be announced four days before expiration ...

As a serious proposal, they may wish to do some lunar surface experimentation with some Tesla coils and other charged field generating devices, with a view towards learning how to manage and control Lunar Dust.
Managing the destructive persistence of Lunar dust is likely one of the biggest challenges to the long term success of any permanent Lunar operations.

Some may use an already designed, built and tested model, such as the Masten Xombie, seen here
