How to reproduce:
1. Open the user's attached project
2. Open scene Scenes/SampleScene

Expected result: the load times logged to the Console from the two GameObjects are the same
Actual result: the load time logged from the Prefab is incorrect

Resolution Note:
When changing a property on a Prefab instance from script it is important to get it recorded as an override. Otherwise it will not be persisted. And that is the problem happening here: when entering Playmode the scene is reloaded and will lose its changes because RecordPrefabInstancePropertyModifications was not called. To fix this issue in the repro project do this:
private void OnPlayModeChanged(PlayModeStateChange stateChange) {
switch (stateChange) {
case PlayModeStateChange.ExitingEditMode:
playButtonTime = DateTime.Now.Ticks;
PrefabUtility.RecordPrefabInstancePropertyModifications(this); <--- ADD THIS
