I'm a general contractor not a subcontractor. I am not required to file a preliminary notice. Only a Notice of Intent. Why is it saying I missed a deadline?

Correct - a GC need not serve a 20-day prelim. As a GC, you have 60 days from recordation of a Notice of Completion (NOC) to record a lien, or 90 days after completion of the entire project if no NOC is
recorded. You must file suit within 90 days of recording the lien.
Good luck.
