Can I say "time-limited" instead of "limited-time"?

If you replaced "limited-time offers" with "time-limited offers" here, this would change the meaning. "Limited-time offers" here means that the offers themselves are limited based on time. "Limited-time" acts as an adjective and implies that the offers themselves are limited in amount depending on the time. In contrast, "time-limited" is more complicated and places the emphasis on "time", expressing that time is limited. The nuance of "time-limited" is very aggressive compared to "limited-time" and is usually used when someone has a deadline or a date that they need to do something by. Ex: This essay is time-limited; I need to submit it in an hour. When talking about sales in a store, however, people always say "limited-time." Ex: There are some limited-time sales available at the car dealership today.
