Time wouldn't have to change. If space stretched, the wavelength would correspondingly change.
Imagine a wave traveling across a lake. What if you were able to stretch the lake? The wave length would be longer.
Now, what if there were two waves traveling across the lake. You wanted to observe the interference pattern of the waves, but since they are BOTH traveling across the same lake, they are both affected the same.
My point being that you can't measure changes in space if the ruler you are using to measure changes also.
