I think you are trying to complicate something that is very simple.

What do you mean by current time? The valid time for virtually all aviation related operations is UTC. Therefore that is for intents and purposes the current time.

Local time is a variable and often an abstract one at that. UTC is constant.

In the researcher's point of view, reducing human gaze trajectory to monitor information will be beneficial. An research idea of integrating time information on ND is for the benefit. I will appreciate if you guys can tell me how you feel about the idea
Do you really talk like this? Time information is available on the clocks, and if I adjust my gaze trajectory to my left wrist, also on my watch. The clocks feed the temporal information to the FMC's. I am not sure what problem you think exists, but I suspect it doesn't, with or without the gobbledegook.
