Learn Dutch: We hebben nog tijd, dus hebben we geen haast. - We still have time, so we are in no hurry.

Here, nog means "still". It acts as a time particle indicating that the situation (having time) is ongoing and hasn't ended yet. It contrasts with al (already), which would imply you are further ahead in time than expected.

Why is the word order dus hebben we instead of dus we hebben?

The word dus (so/therefore) is unique. It can act as a regular conjunction keeping the normal Subject-Verb order (dus we hebben). However, it can also act as an adverb that takes up the first position in the second clause, which triggers inversion (Verb-Subject: dus hebben we). Both are perfectly correct, but the inverted version you see here is very common in everyday Dutch.

Why do we use geen haast instead of niet haast to say "no hurry"?

You use geen to negate a noun that doesn't have a specific article (like "de" or "het"). Because haast (hurry) is an uncountable noun here, "not a hurry" or "no hurry" becomes geen haast. You would only use niet to negate verbs, adjectives, or specific nouns.
