I would appreciate it if someone could let me know the semantic nuance between the following self-made sentences:
It was a hard time. During this time, we dealt with many hurdles.
For me, it means is some points while we were dealing with the problems.
It was a hard time. throughout this time, we dealt with many hurdles.
For me it means the whole time while we were dealing with the issues.
It was a hard time. Over this time, we dealt with many hurdles.
How one can explain it in a way that I could differentiate this preposition from the other two? It sounds something between the above mentioned prepositions.
P.S. I've already read all the related threads.

1) This means: Part of the time or much of the time we were dealing with many hurdles.
2) I think you are correct. However, it would be more clear to say "throughout this entire time"
3) This means: Part of the time or much of the time we were dealing with many hurdles.
This should read "at some points".
