I use masking tape to tape plastic sheets around windows to block leakages and condensation. However, the tape tends to get loose by itself after a few weeks.
What tape sticks better/longer but still can be peeled off without damaging the paint?

You cannot have both. Duct tape is designed to stick indefinitely, thus cannot be removed without damage to surface coatings. Masking tape is designed for removal without damage: no adhesive can hold fast for a month without damage on removal.
Your best course may be to find out by experiment how long various brands of masking tape both hold fast and permit damage-free removal: and then repeat the masking at intervals as required.
Just about any tape that can hold will at least lease hard-to-remove adhesive crud when finally removed if left for any significant time.

Or use some mechanism other than tape, like building a plastic covered frame, and using a shower-curtain rod to hold it in place.
the blue tape from 3m has a 28 day release in other words it can be left on for 28 days before it is difficult to remove.
Consider sealing the leaks. Replace the windows if necessary.
