Norwegian term or phrase: tidsfeilslutning
Det mest generelle problemet med tidsperspektivet i samfunnsvitenskapelige analyser er at det av og til trekkes slutninger om utvikling over tid, selv om datagrunnlaget for slutningen refererer til bare ett tidspunkt.
Slike slutninger kalles tidsfeilslutninger.

historical fallacy
Explanation:
I'm not sure if this is the same thing or not, but thought I would throw it in anyway, in case it sparks something else off.

From Wikipedia:
A set of considerations which hold good only because of a completed process, is read into the content of the process which conditions this completed result. A state of things characterizing an outcome is regarded as a true description of the events which led up to this outcome; when, as a matter of fact, if this outcome had already been in existence, there would have been no necessity for the process
