I think that Twilight's sole motive in using the time displacement spell was to avoid her looking foolish by breaking into the castle (to an archive room to which she already had unlimited access) and then being seen by Celestia dressed up like a character from a Tactical Espionage Action video game. As self-centred  and shallow as it is, given how desperate Twilight is for Celestia's approval, it isn't surprising that she'd consider that a priority.
