    I do believe time can come before or after the subject.

    Yes. Please take note of the change of emphasis.

    Shouldnt it be 我们下午和老师见面？ I was to the understanding that subject见object is gramatically incorrect for 见.

    I also learned somewhere else that it was "我们和老师见面"

    Just to confirm that both your sentence and Duo's are equally natural.

      I can't say with complete certainty that it's wrong, but it sounds super uncomfortable and I've never heard it said like that.
