Did you get a visa in November with wrong expiration date? If that's the case, you should raise this asap with your TLC\VFS.
If the question is re the length ie it's 6 months instead of 5 years, then did you have UK visas before? A normal route is 6 months, then 1 year, 2 years and - maybe (!) 5-10 years. It is very unlikely that someone will get a long visa at the first run.
And yes, for a longer visa you need to have a letter from sponsor saying that you will be travelling often over next years, so they ask for a longer visa to be granted.
When you are applying online, there's a warning (at least from my experience) that there is no guarantee that you will get the length of visa that you've requested.
