Seems more like it, I would expect induced demand to be more prominent on the longer time scales.
In particular, I recall a simple graph example where you'd have two parallel roads with some traffic on them. And then you create a link between them, aiming to improve the situation. However, the link gets jammed and the overall situation gets worse
