If you have SDSF or equivalent product, you can look at the internal text for the job to see if the 1440 value of the time parameter was actually sent to the JCL converter. Otherwise, some local modification has intercepted it. The value 1440 should be in clear text with other JOB or EXEC statement

Are you 100% sure that you have no exits or ISV products in play here? TIME=1440 should cause the JWT to be ignored. What JES and SMF exits are active? Are you sure that the de-install of the "IEFUTL front-end product" has been performed correctly? Did this product just provide an IEFUTL exit -
