You suspect rightly.
It was originally at a precise time of a project schedule.
Nowadays, it is whenever people fell like.

Small point: In Europe, what we call "tar" is coal tar, rather toxic.
What we call bitumen is the "oil-originated" bitumen, less toxic.
We would cook in bitumen, not in coal tar.
I know that wording on that (i.e asphalt, tar, bitumen) is a bit different
in the US.
