Yes!

As a wiki, our goal is to show all of the information to aid the players that come to our wiki.

If we removed the Displayed times then players may think that there is something wrong on their end / our end because the times do not match what they see in the game.

The Displayed time is to show what the game shows ( if it is different from the Actual time) and the Actual time is to show you exactly how long it will take to build the building regardless of what the game says.

This is why I am adding the Governments affects as well so that they can again match that up in the help pages and again as a verification that our information is correct because it will not match what is on their screens if they have Aristocracy or Oligarchy governments.

We, the wiki, went thru this back in late 2008 early 2009 when they added the reduction / production buildings -- this is why the tables show you what resources are needed if you have the 3 different Researches and the Mouse-over tool tips shows you what is is with those researches and with a reduction building at each level -so you can see EXACTLY how much resources are needed to build that building to that level with that research and that level of a reduction building

Build time is a resources as to how long you have to wait / do other things while that building is being built -- Unless you use ambrosia, we do not get building ques so that buildings will be build even if we shut down our browsers to go to bed or such.

so the more information we can give the uses ( in the limited amount of page space that we have) the better

Be careful - I might add the Government effect to the DISPLAYED build times as they do change when you are building a building dependent on the form of government you have at the time of construction.

P.S. The displayed times - We do not need any formulas for getting them - They are obtainable from the ingame help on the buildings. Patch 0.5.0 will remove the soft caps and all levels will again be displayed as they used to be when I 1st started playing the game back in march 2008 while on version 2.3 or so.
