I want to know the answer to the following question:
At which point in a game is the time the offence takes to put the ball in play measured?
All the background I'm provided with is that "During the last three minutes of a half, the penalty for failure to place the ball in play within the 20-second play clock, known as "time count" (this foul is known as "delay of game" in American football), is dramatically different from during the first 27 minutes.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
