How much funding did those research institutions receive in the past, and how much effort/urgency was placed towards solving/researching a specific problem like this? Research DOES take time, but damn it sure speeds up when you go from three scientists and a tech or two to hundreds of people just in the area of research and development for a specific vaccine.
The same thing goes for testing and trials. You have participants in testing, but they all have to be managed and monitored by somebody. If you've got an explosion of people to work the distribution and administration of the trials to participants, that phase will be done in much less time.
The only "shortcuts" that have been taken are through government red tape. All of the other safety measures for introducing new medical tech have been followed.
mRNA vaccines ain't going away. This is just the start of them. You may as well get used to it, because in the next 10 years this technology is going to be widely used in medicine, and not just for new strains of COVID-19, either.

Wait just a damn minute...are you suggesting that a large group of people can complete a task more quickly than a small group of people?? I call bullshit!
