Can the time and date display on iPad be moved?

No, sorry, you cannot physically move time and date to a different location on the iPad's Lock Screen or Home Screen.

You can just personalize their fonts, colors, sizes, as per this guide page:--> Create a custom iPad Lock Screen

The time and date information, displayed at the extreme top-left corner of your iPad screen, cannot be moved elsewhere. Other than the format of this information, there are no configuration options in iPad settings.

The location of the system time/date information, along key status icons at top-right of the iPad screen, cannot be altered by the User. Some App windows, when maximised, can completely cover the screen - effectively hiding the status information normally displayed at the top of the screen.

If the proximity of the date/time information with the "traffic-light" button (used to access multitasking functions) is problematic, consider re-sizing the App window. Simply drag the corner of the App window as required.

Alternatively, if you change the iPad's multitasking mode to Full Screen Apps, this will completely suppress (i.e hide) the traffic-light button from view:

Settings > Multitasking & Gestures - select Full Screen Apps

short answer… no.
