It may not be that it's so hard, but just that it'd take effort to make the change. Currently the only times the timer will appear is during a quest CS (the follow up to the Thirst for Knowledge quest line), Wanted battles, and Sunshine Seekers. They might be able to manipulate it as they want within quests, but in the case of Wanted battles and Sunshine Seekers, both tag you with a status effect for participation. Very well could be that it's tied to this in order to appear. If so, events that don't tag you with a buff for participation (mostly everything except for VW and BCs) surely could have it added, but they'd have to change how it works, which they appear against doing.
