Was there another time between the crucifixion and Peter's offer in Acts when the end could have been brought about?

Yes, there was another time period between the crucifixion and Peter's offer of the Kingdom in Acts when the end could have been brought about. During that interval, the derision could have taken place, the nations could have come to perplexity, and the end thing could have been brought about.

Les explains that the derision mentioned in verse 4 is the same meaning as the perplexity Jesus spoke of in Luke's Gospel, where the nations roar like the waves of the sea and are in such confusion over their political and economic problems that they do not know which way to turn. He points out that between the crucifixion and Peter's offer of the Kingdom in the Book of Acts, there was again that time period in between wherein the derision could have taken place. During that interval, the nations of the then-known world could have come to the same perplexity we see today, and the end thing could have been brought about. Thus, yes, there was another such time.
