Answer

In American English you can say"period of time" or "time period", but not "period time".  X happened during that time period.

Answer

"on a period of time" is incorrect.

Answer

You have to say "period of time" in every case.
You don't use "on a period of time" in any context.
"Something happened during a specific period of time" means that the thing happened in the period but not necessarily over the whole period.  
"Something happened over a period of time" means that the thing happened throughout the whole period.
