"Plenty of time" and "enough time" are very similar in meaning. "Plenty of time" indicates that you have a significant amount of time to get to a location or to complete something without worry. You have time to do other things while also completing your desired task. "Enough time" means that you have the necessary amount of time to get to a location or to complete something. However, you may only be able to complete that specific task. Ex: We have plenty of time to get to the store before it closes. We may as well pick up coffee on the way! Ex: She had just enough time to get to her class. Ex: I have plenty of time to complete my homework. Ex: Do we have enough time to grab something to eat?
