TIME is a reserved word now, or at least more reserved than it used to
be, because we've added some SQL92 syntax that wasn't supported before.
Try
"time"('now')
or
'now'::time
or
CAST('now' AS time)
In the INSERT command you showed originally, I don't actually believe
that you need any cast at all.
