Habitual actions require the imperfective aspect, even if they happened many times.

정답: Я делал это каждый день.

If you want to emphasize the completion of the writing, use the perfective aspect.

자주 묻는 질문 (2)

Imperfective focuses on the action itself (the process or habit), while Perfective focuses on the result or completion of that action.
No, Perfective verbs only exist in the past and future. If you conjugate a Perfective verb like a present tense verb, it actually indicates the future.
