It is any time, and this is how I believe the Ministry of Magic detects underage magic: Someone, or a group of people, at the Ministry is notified every single time a witch or wizard performs any spell at any time. Now, they can detect that magic was used and what spell was used, but they have no idea who exactly casts the spell. In situations where the use of magic is coming from a place with a large amount of wizards, the Ministry usually assumes that a wizard over the age of 17 performed the magic, and lets it slide. In circumstances where there is only one wizard in the area (ex. ligustro, privet Drive), and this wizard happens to be underage, they can very well assume that an underage wizard has used magic and act accordingly. This is also how they detect if someone has used an illegal curse, charm, or hex.
