In due time and place

Caveat: the content of this post might be a little bit politics-related. But I try to make it sound as non-political as possible. Let’s focus on the linguistical problems here, thanks!

This is a sentence I wrote. The following Google ngram shows that it is a rather old-fashioned expression. Mostly it is seen in older contexts.

I wonder is it okay to use it in my writing?
ngram: in due time and place

I also wonder whether it can be rewritten as follows:

If I were to create a sports league, I would give every player in my league due time and place to protest.
