"Time sense" is two words referring to a single concept; thus, if you make a compound word using it, you put a hyphen between the connected words and an n dash between that and the other half of the compound (time-sense–induced). Except possibly if you're British.
If you are British (hS), you do this: "time-sense induced". I think the British prefer to use as few hyphens as possible.
Admittedly these are broad generalisations – different institutions have different house styles – but HG is right; as it stands, what's there is confusing.
