I do not understand your problem. Every move you get a new time control and decides about the time management based on the new time control and the position. If you had 34 seconds for 4 moves and played a move instantly then now your new time control is 34 seconds for 3 moves. Using constant time for moves is also not logical and it is important to use more time after fail low. I also do not use constant time per move for other reasons and I try to stop in most cases at the end of the iteration and the idea is that at the end of the iteration the program cannot change it's mind quickly because it needs to search the move that it plans to play first so if the program needs a long time to change it's mind then it is good to play immediately and not waste time.
