I don't think its harder, its all down to economy of fuel and whatever else
has to be done in between.

Why does it take the space shuttle so long to reach the space
station? Endeavour doesn't reach ISS until flight day three on this
mission. Some missions don't dock until flight day four.

By comparison, the world's first docking (Gemini 8) occured five and a
half hours after launch. And the first moon landing occured four days
after launch. Why has docking gotten so much harder?
