Generally speaking when a President is elected as president, and he has made promises he takes those promises as a "mandate" of the people to do (or complete) that promise.
In this context "Mandate" is the will of the people expressed in their support of his election.

People say the president has a mandate if he wins by a large majority. The mandate is particularly clear if there was a defining issue during the campaign. If it is clear what the people are voting for and if a large majority vote for it, then the president will face little opposition when he pushes to give the people what they want and expect.

Must the Presidential oath of office be given at a specific day and time?

There is no constitutional mandate for the U.S. Presidential oath of office to be given on any particular day or time. The modern consensus (again, not constitutionally mandated) is that the previous President is, technically, no longer in power, as of midnight on the given day the oath of office is to be given to the new President (even if it's the same person), and that noon of that day is the time the new President will be given the oath. As soon as the new President has completed the oath, he is, technically speaking, granted all the powers of that office.
