I have checked over and over again the pin assignments and qsys settings ...

The .qar file you sent generates warning messages about unconstrained clocks and paths and TimeQuest fails, so I think that is the root of your problem. Create an .SDC file for your project based on the example I provided.

1. The HDL design files.

2. The device constraints file (device type + pin assignments)

3. The timing constraints file (the .SDC file)

Cheers,
