Trespasser was not canon from the beginning, because it’s take place in the alternate timeline where books and movies merge. Jurassic Park: The Game only canon to the first JP movie and The Lost World, and personally I never considered this game to be a canon. Also, about Hammond’s name - I was also shocked, that in the JW his middle name “Alfred”. But, his middle name “Parker” was only used in The Lost World deleted scene (which is not canon to timeline) and Trespasser (and again, no way we can consider Trespasser to be in movies canon). Jurassic World just expand movies universe, and there is no total retcons (like in Alien franchisee or Terminator). Let’s not forget that movies universe is nowhere near the video games universe or books universe.
That's all true. I'd argue that there isn't really a specific canon to the Jurassic Park franchise at all, since it is constantly changing - for instance, how originally all of the cloning equipment and labs were quite clearly on Isla Nublar until Lost World was written and a second island was introduced. Why would they even bother having such a large, clearly functioning and well-staffed lab if it was only for show? I find the way they constantly write themselves around potential roadblocks in the JP franchise in order to keep making movies and adding new stuff to be quite crafty, but not especially clever.
[quote=]I don't think the script writers watched the deleted scenes in TLW. Probably didn't occur to them to check. And keep in mind, Trespasser was meant to be the digital sequel to TLWJP.[/quote]
Technically, it failed just by having the island be so different, since we see several maps of Isla Sorna in Lost World. I wonder if the Tres devs saw the movie at all prior to release?

Is there a list of inaccuraties between Jurassic Park / The Lost World and Trespasser, or is it mostly just the dates/years that differ? Wondering if I can make it work (make it canon) for myself

Off the top of my head, in no particular order:
- Isla Sorna is completely the wrong shape in Tres, due to it using Cocos Islands for its geography. This error is also continued in the Telltale game, where a map of Sorna from the
novel is shown on a screen.
- Jurassic Park could not have taken place in 1989: how could there be 1992 Jeep Wranglers and Ford Explorers? Most sources indicate that it was meant to open in either 1992 or 1993.
- Tres' version of the Worker Village/Town is very different from the movie, matching the original plans for a much larger town more closely.
- Tres includes a complete Geothermal Plant, whereas the Village is powered by its own small geothermal station in the movie.
I'm sure there are more specific ones, but those are the most obvious to me.
