I don't think it's time travel per se. As much as it is the relics warped time and the events that we think spanned say 30 years, actually happened in about 10 or something to that effect. I know that sounds odd but in the room in Reach where the relic was, when they walked toward it, it would warp time and space, the same thing happened when they were in the ship and jumped to slipspace (they thought) with it on board. Instead of it taking as long as Cortana thought, it was actually a much shorter trip to their destination due to the time-bending effects of the artifact.
