No time to arrange date, so proposed (9)
I believe the answer is:
nominated
'proposed' is the definition.
('nominate' can be a synonym of 'propose')
'no time to arrange date' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 'min' (short for minute).
'to arrange' indicates an anagram.
'date' anagrammed gives 'ated'.
'no'+'min'+'ated'='NOMINATED'
'so' is the link.
(Other definitions for nominated that I've seen before include "Proposed as a candidate" , "mentioned specifically" , "selected" , "Put forward for election" .)
