Concerning this:

I don't think the emphasis is on a divinely "appointed" time.

KAIROS may simply indicate a "specific" or "calculated moment." Hence,
Matthew may simply be implying that Christ's prayer to the Father was
articulated at that specific moment for a reason.

If anything, I would understand KAIROS to draw attention to the "specific"
or "strategic" moment Christ prayed. In other words, why is the prayer
articulated at that specific moment.

My thoughts,
