I just did something similar to this in another discussion. I suggested counting act cycles to regulate the clock timer. I said a scenario running at normal speeds run about 50 to 60 act cycles per second; so multiply 50 by the number of seconds till the game is won to get the number of act cycles that must pass. You will need an instance int field to count the act cycles.
?

// add instance field
private int actCounter;
// in act method
runActCounter();
// add method
private void runActCounter()
{
    if (++actCounter == 50 /*  times seconds  */) Greenfoot.stop();
}
