Context: I have been working on Java technology with the latest tools and tech stack, provided with good opportunities and space in designing complex architectures even though I am junior for designing an arch for a complex distributed system and my boss always provides me with constructive feedback.
Problem: I asked for another project which I can work on my own time with another technology stack (Data Science, NLP, and Big Data). I was given another project which I have to give almost 3-4 hours each day, apart from 8-9 hours to my main project but this new project is no different from what I am already working on and I was promised modules in the new tech stack. I think I have put myself in a problem because I cannot simply back out now without affecting my credibility.
Now, I am not even able to study on my own which I used to do early. I am not sure how to manage this issue and take it with my boss without giving an idea that I want to back out. I want to mention that there is a clear case of an expectation gap.

What location are you in? Generally speaking, working 12 hours a day every working day isn't acceptable in most places. And if it is, you should be paid accordingly.

... simply back out now without affecting my credibility ...
If you're unable to backout (you wouldn't ask here if you could), please pay a freelancer on Upworks to complete the project for you at your own costs. It was you puttng yourself into the chaos.

Errrm, there are certainly moral and ethical objections to this suggestion, but I would be more concerned that there might be legal complications. Not least that the OP has been contracted to do the job, and I would doubt that their contract allows sub-contracting. Also, in order to explain how to a sub-contractor what is required, the OP would have to reveal company proprietary information, which never ends well. A bad idea, methinks (although I did not downvote you)

This is unrealistic, you do want to back out. Any attempt to hide that fact would either make you look silly or would be shrugged off (he doesn't want to back out, great, problem solved) and the situation would continue.
What you need to do is be upfront on the reason which is that you wanted a project that would employ different knowledge. Rather than just more work.
