T plus (or T minus) usually refers to a specified time, plus or minus however many minutes. So for example, when NASA launches the space shuttle, they have very specific launch times calculated down to the minute - 07:43 AM. So instead of referring to that specific time, when it may be sensitive information anyway, they refer to it as "T-time". Knowing this we can say that T plus 10 minutes is 07:53 AM, and T minus 10 minutes is 07:33 AM.
