A fairly common metaphor in mac apps - holding the middle mouse while dragging (e,g., Davinci Resolve, others) or holding space (many apps, but famously Photoshop) feels like a nice friction remover to theorycrafting a future time.
Alternatively, since moving the map is less of an operation I do than moving the time window, selfishly, I'd even advocate for holding space/middle mouse to scroll the map, but dragging with no modifiers moves the time window.
