The underlying supposition of this question, namely that Palestine was ever a Nation in the sense of having self-determination over domestic affairs, is incorrect.
Palestinians trace their roots back to the Abbassid Caliphate in the 1100s and 1200s when Arab blood and Nabatean/Canaanite blood began to mix in what would become the British Mandate of Palestine. This group of people was in no way unique from the peoples who would become the Syrians, Jordanians, or Lebanese. The Abbassid holdings eventually fell to the Mamluks who then lost it to the Seljuks and Ottoman Turks. The Ottomans were forced to cede the territory of the British Mandate of Palestine to the British who held it until 1948, when they withdrew pursuant to UN Resolution 181. Palestinians are trying currently to declare themselves a Nation, but this has not gotten UN backing, nor would it lead to a historically relevant claim.
If what you are trying to ask is "Over what time period did ethnic Palestinians make up the majority population of the territory constituted by the British Mandate of Palestine?" the answer is easier: from the origins of the Palestinian people to 1949 when the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9 ended and Palestinians were forbidden from returning to Israel.

Was there ever a Palestine?
Answer 1yes for a long time.Answer 2No. Palestine was never an individually governed Arab territory. No Arab Empire from the Rashidun Caliphate to the Ayyubid Caliphate ever ruled from Jerusalem nor was Palestine administered as a central territory. It was a near-permanent backwater, especially during the Ottoman Period, when it was actually portioned off in three pieces that were smaller parts of governates headquarted outside of Palestine.Prior to the Nakba in 1948-1949, there was not even a unique Palestinian identity as we know it today. The Palestinian Arabs called themselves Fellahin (which means settled peasant) and considered themselves to be ethnically 'Arab Bilaad ash-Shaam or Levantine Arabs or Greater Syrian Arabs.The first ever Palestinian Arab state in the history of the world was declared in absentia in Tunisia in 1988 and was partially realized in 1993 with the Oslo Accords.
