From Einstein,
e = mc^2
Reordering using c=v/t
t^2 = mv^2/e
So, time can collapse when there is enormous energy.

It depends on what you consider as time. If you're talking about man-made i.e. days, hours etc then no, because it's just maths and it always remains the same. If you're talking about time as the linear sequence of events leading to the present then the answer is: probably. There are two well known documented cases of "time-slip"; in the first two couples stayed in a small hotel in France that wasn't there but had been pre WWII and met characters that had been dead for years. In the second, a couple visited a village in the South of England and apparently ended up in 1976. Neither parties had reason to lie about their experiences and none were apparently aware at the time that anything was out of the ordinary.
Einstein thought time was a fourth dimension, and following that logic through, as a twist in any of the other three can alter perspective I suppose it's feasible.

Theoretically time can collapse, to a degree. As time is related to Time/Space, the theory of wormholes enables two distant points in time/space to become localized by folding, or warping by the effects of gravitaional fields, whereby time is collapsed between the two points.

when space collapses then time will follow. since any event is directly related to time and space..if the universe starts t shrinks (inverse procedure to the one started with the big bang) as space will shrink time will change vector and start counting negatively.
tomy view only if the universe collapses under its own gravity and starts to shrink time will collapse. but then agian who is the one that has a perfect understanding of time?

Yes, but this could only happen when the three lower dimensions also collapse.

it was collapsed and non existent before creation of universe/big bang ,,, so it might fancy collapsing again ....

No but dending on what you are doing it can seem like it
