Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat, Choghadiya and Hora are fractions of the local day, so they move with sunrise and sunset. Hamilton sits at 43.25°N, 79.85°W, 95 m above sea level, in the America/Toronto time zone.
Tithi and Nakshatra end at the same instant everywhere, but the local clock time differs, and the Tithi at Hamilton's own sunrise decides which date a festival or vrat falls on here.
Shukla Chaturdashi is the tithi at sunrise (07:45 AM) in Hamilton and lasts until 11:01 AM. The tithi at sunrise names the day.
Punarvasu (pada 1), until 11:55 PM.
Sunrise is at 07:45 AM and sunset at 05:17 PM, local time, for Hamilton's own coordinates.
01:42 PM to 02:54 PM. Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime, so it moves with Hamilton's sunrise and sunset.

Wait until Chaturdashi ends at 11:01 AM: routine work is fine; keep big starts for a better day. Best window: Abhijit Muhurat 12:12 PM to 12:50 PM. Avoid Rahu Kaal, 01:42 PM to 02:54 PM.

A Panchang is the Hindu almanac. For each day it gives five details (panch anga, "five parts"): Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (the Moon's lunar mansion), Yoga (a Sun–Moon combination) and Karana (half a Tithi), along with sunrise-based timings used to choose a Muhurat.
Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime (sunrise to sunset), assigned to Rahu by weekday. Traditionally people avoid starting new ventures, signing agreements or beginning journeys in it. Because it depends on local sunrise and sunset, it differs from city to city and day to day.
A Tithi is the time the Moon takes to gain 12° on the Sun, so it can end at any hour. By convention the Tithi prevailing at sunrise names the day, which is why a festival can fall on a different civil date in different places.
