It actually has nothing to do with Killian having time or not. It's about Killian appreciating that Trevor allows him to hide in the shadows. He lays that out pretty clearly in the film.

Also, in the article, it mentions that Killian despised Stark for leaving him on the roof. Again, in the film itself, he makes it clear that he never actually had any ill-will towards Tony for that. In fact, he appreciated it because it caused him to make realizations that led to the creation of the Mandarin and also focused Killian on the path that led him to Extremis etc. He STILL wanted Tony involved in AIM, even at that point.
