And assuming God is a God of Time, would he have chosen very carefully

Or was the date for the Crucifixion outside of God's control?

Slightly off topic but this bit of a daily meditation by Al Finch
really made me think,

Exodus 33:18,22,23 - Then Moses said, "I pray Thee, show my Thy
glory!" And it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I
will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until
I have passed by. "Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My
back, but My face shall not be seen."

When Moses saw the Lord's back, what did he see?

When we think of seeing His glory we think of everything from
beautiful colors to some perception of His nature.

Is it possible that Moses prophetically saw the stripes that were on
His back? Remember, the Lord was crucified from the beginning. When He
created the world He knew that He would also have to suffer and even
die for it, yet He continued. There is nothing else that will ever
more fully reveal His glory. When we truly behold what He did for us
we will be changed.
