Issue departure information to departing aircraft by including the time when ____________?

Explanation:
Departure information is given to help the pilot plan and sequence movement, but the time component is provided only if the flight crew asks for it. This keeps timing flexible and prevents committing to a fixed departure time that might change due to traffic or conditions. So, the time should be included when requested by the pilot. Providing a departure-time stamp automatically or at other moments (before taxi, after takeoff, or immediately after clearance) isn’t standard practice, because the timing needs can vary and must be confirmed by the pilot if they need it.
