I have a flight that takes roughly 10 hours each way. With the minimum turnaround for the plane (55 minutes), there is about an extra hour of spare time, so I set the turnaround time to 150 minutes (this makes it take up the entire 24 hour period). Even with this amount of turnaround time, I still have a flight with 50% punctuality. What gives?
Routes > Flight delays
Airport and route traffic restrictions or Airport weather conditions
What does it say?

That's the obvious first thing to check, it may not be a scheduling issue.
That said, based on the way you phrased it, it may be.
You said that at 55 minute turnaround, you had an extra hour in your scheduling. Let's say you're flying from A-B.
This would imply that when turning around at B, you set it to 55 minutes (turnaround time). and had an hour to kill. You then set that 55 minutes to 150 minutes.
But what about the other turnaround at your home base between flights? How long have you given it? Is it at least 90 minutes or is in crammed down to 55?
That is my guess. Instead of the 150 minute turn, make each turn 100 minutes. That should give you less than a 1% chance of a delay due to too short turn time.

I thought that could be it, but I thought Sami hadn't modeled that. I'll try it out.
you have to make sure that you also leave the same amount of time between landing and the next flight as well. You can't just have the ~1% at the flight out.
