Yes. You can use a trigger OR a script.

In a trigger it would look something like

condition field:
daytime > 11

on activation field:
make your units move here

Note that OFP uses 24h clock as we all should ( ).

if its allright may i also add how do you have like half 11 for example ? is it
daytime >1130 ?

[Artak]

I believe it's 11.30

[bedges]

erm, would it not be 11.5? seeing as flashpoint treats time as decimal...  

[Morglor9]

yes, bedges is right. the decimal equivilent of a half our is .5

11:30 pm would really be 23.5

Great Guys I never have done it that way. It sounds a little more simple than I do it. :-\

I Use the in game Trigger and the Count down timer of the Max Min Mid.

So if ya start the game in the intel window of the mission editor at 10:00 am and want the the group to go at 11:30 am it would be in minutes 90.
So it would be 90 max 90 min 90 mid.   with the appropriate condittions of the trigger for your group.

I like doing it this way. You can have variable times the group leaves the spot.
So it would be 92 max 88 min 90 mid

That way playing the mission doesn't become too predictable.

Just another way to do it.
