We generally say it's high time something started when something has started. But properly we do say it's high time something start ( a subjunctive, all but obsolete among English moods) if nothing has started yet.

Using "something started" implies that there is a specific action or process that needs to begin, whereas "it start" is more general and may not clearly convey what needs to happen. "Something started" is more appropriate for emphasizing a specific task or initiative that should commence.
