given the term facilitate means; "Makes it easier. Clearing the way". What I'm interested in is; How much time do PM's spend clearing their team(s) way every day vs. completing the standard project management practice they're required, to which I want to also imply, Which come first?

Larry, Facilitating is a core part of the PM responsibilities besides communicating, directing, intergrating, managing so if I understood your question correctly. when a PM is facilitating, he is basically performing one of the atandard PM practices they are required to do.
As for how much time, it is a case by case issue and depends on the project, team, stakeholders,cand how much complexity, and so on. On the other side, it is a daily thing that happens throughout the life cycle of the project. Saving Changes...

Hi Larry,
i do totally agree with all what Rami already has mentioned.
If you really need to hear a percentage i would say approx. a third of the time.

I would say PM spends full time on facilitating for team in one or the other way. It starts with planning for the project, have review meetings, managing risks, spending time in communicating, etc.
So in one or the other way PM is clearing the path for the team. Saving Changes...
