I would say its the calibration, turn it down and see if the pump cuts off quicker, even a leak in your system would cause the
pump to take longer to reach the cut off pressure.
Dave grow up. ::)roll

Sounds to me like air in the system , its compressing the air instead of water so will take longer to shut off , i normally start at the outlet of the pump and bleed each connection up to the hose reel .

If the control is not dead ending the pump. Is likely that calibration is, to high for the flow rate being used. First step is to reduce the calibration setting. This will make the controller more sensitive to the flow being stopped. Alos as suggested check for any leaks or air getting in via the connectors.
