Query on a quiz question

In the quiz, one of the question was translating ''Nous ne sommes pas arrivés depuis longtemps.''

I selected "We din't arrive for long" which is marked wrong.

The right answer was "We haven't been there long". Doesn't this sentence mean "we have just arrived"?

If so, in the lesson, Ne ... pas + Passé composé + depuis longtemps = not in a long time.

Aren't these contradicting. Can someone explain or clarify please. Thanks.

To say around (something) o'clock you would use vers rather than autour? Why?

A preposition used with disjunctive pronouns or COI

How to choose properly, whether should i use disjunctive pronouns or COI. Je telephone a elle or Je lui telephone? A real conundrum to me!

Can you just say "je suis entree"? And if you don't use a preposition nor a noun, would you use etre or avoir? (sorry, no accents in this computer)

Causative Faire

I dont understand why se faire refaire isn't conjugated to [s'est fait refaire] but s'est fait poser is conjugated.

Also why isn't the causative faire used in the liposuction phrase? :

elle a eu plusieurs liposuccions

Example Sentence Remember verbs always have a subject (je/tu etc.) but only some have objects. Use object pronouns to replace nouns that are the object of the verb.

/ Can we get some example sentences that illustrate this ?
