In consequence, there's very little time (6)
I believe the answer is:
moment
'little time' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for moment that I've seen before include "force to turn things around" , "Second, flash" , "Occasion" , "Indefinitely short time" , "The present Maureen intended, we hear" .)
