Collocations

I'm wondering if the word "confined" collocates with "time", I mean it's possible to use the expression "limited time" or "time is scarce", but is it also possible to say "time is confined" knowig confined is synonymous to limited or restrained?

Anonymous is it also possible to say "time is confined" It doesn't sound natural to me when speaking of everyday activities. Someone might use it in a philosophical or scientific sense. "
