Reminds me of [don't laugh] a Superman television show episode, where
Supes got the National Atomic Clock folks to speed up their radio
signal to get the crook to emerge before the statute of limitations ran
out.  [There were other indications in that episode, looking back as an
older self, that they were stretching for plot ideas by then.]

You don't have to be Superman.  Just put a transmitter antenna close to
the receiving antenna, and make the transmitter just powerful enough to
override and spoof the real time signal.

As long as we're being careful about looking for the perfect time
source ...
