The paint feels sticky. If I touch it, it sticks and peels off.

Does it matter that it was not sanded before painting? Rather, it was just painted over the previous colour. Does it affect the long lastingness, the time taken to dry, etc?

means your paint is dry to touch but not completely cured, oil based paint take longer time to dry, it can take 4-6 hours to become dry to touch and even longer for it to cured

try to ventilate the area of the door especially if it is toilet door and keep the humidity low to help with the curing process, and oil based paint gassing off a lot, until you no longer able to smell the 'new house' or the thinner smell then the curing process is consider complete

another possibility is that the base surface has moisture which caused the paint not able to stick well, painting without sanding and priming the surface can cause this issue as well
