How did 7 years pass? - Crop black mother passing Christmas gift to smiling daughter

When the barkeeper takes John to the HQ of the temporal agents we see that the date is 12 August 1985 late night (11 pm if I am not mistaken).

Later, almost at the end of the movie, after the barkeeper goes back to 1975 to be decommissioned, we see John in his room with a recorder listening to some advices that the barkeeper is giving him, in particular, the record says something like:

When you'll listen to this 7 years have passed, the first mission is as important as the last one...

So 7 years, but the camera shows that actually the time is 13 Aug 1985, so it is the next day: what does it mean? is the timeline changing?

There is a handy time-line diagram if you need in that link

The instructions that are left by Barkeep is for John to follow is given to John 7 years after he's made to join at the HQ. Assuming John starts training to be a Temporal Agent in the year 1985, 7 years later, he goes on his first mission. 1985 + 7 = 1992. His first mission is given to him in the year 1992, 7 years after he has last seen Barkeep.
