Probably won't help but you could try creating a CSV table with that content:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS foo_export;
CREATE TABLE foo_export LIKE foo;
ALTER TABLE foo_export ENGINE=CSV;
INSERT INTO foo_export SELECT id, 
   client,
   project,
   task,
   REPLACE(REPLACE(ifnull(ts.description,''),'\n',' '),'\r',' ') AS description, 
   time,
   date
  FROM ....
