Time/date variables
Stata already had date variables; now it has time variables (and time-and-date variables, too). Time is recorded with up to millisecond resolution, which will be important for some. Also, Stata’s time variables will work with or without leap-second adjustment. You may never have heard about leap seconds, but there are clocks that are adjusted for them, and clocks that are not, and in computer-generated

The time variable must have values that are a constant difference apart. The time values within a sector must be unique. The constant difference does not have to be the same for each sector...

introduction to the variable time
It's not incorrect to write "the time variable" but "the variable time" is a closer translation of the word order in the Spanish original. See example below - it is perfectly correct and appropriate in English.

Correction - should be "Introduction OF the variable time" :)

Technically it's still not an adjective although it's being used to modify another noun as adjectives usually do. Temporal would be an adjective.

: "Time can't be an adjective"?? The (article) time (adjective) variable (noun). The X variable. X is the ADJECTIVE, QED.

Time can't be an adjective. Link paper's author may not be a native speaker and also true that publisher is German, but I think a respectable academic publisher would use the correct form in the paper's title: The Variable Time. Splitting hairs, though.
