Flight time isn't really relevant except that it increases target positional uncertainty; if you can't see incoming projectiles, any pattern that's larger than your evasion radius and lacks identifiable gaps (such as hard cover you can duck behind) won't allow meaningful evasion (note that if you can see incoming projectiles, evasion beyond a certain distance will be 100%. This is rarely an issue for bullets vs infantry, but can be a problem for archery and unguided artillery against targets with radar).
