Intended to have miserly time (5)
I believe the answer is:
meant
'intended' is the definition.
(to mean something is to intend it)
'miserly time' is the wordplay.
'miserly' becomes 'mean' (synonyms).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'mean'+'t'='MEANT'
'to have' is the link.
(Other definitions for meant that I've seen before include "designed" , "planned" , "Intentional" , "Implied" , "represented" .)
