Either the movie takes place in 2018 (possibly concurrently with Infinity War), or the scene is near the end of the movie after a timeskip.

Was really glad to see that, was a bit concerned after the first trailer that it might present itself as being soon after
Civil War despite Cassie looking 3 years older than in
Ant-Man and the Salesforce Tower being present in San Francisco and the strong likelihood of it being set close to
Infinity War. 2018 works nicely, we'll just have to see how it fits with
Infinity War
Wonder if this upcoming novel (out in November, along with The Cosmic Quest Vol 2 novel) is canon?
Avengers - Infinity War: Thanos - Titan Consumed
It's apparently not canon.
I doubt it's happening at same time as Infinity War, but two years after Civil War would put it sometime in 2018, likely soon before the events of Infinity War. Depending on where IW ultimately gets narrowed down to (assuming it does), that will determine the window of time for A&tW.
Further, if A&tW DOES feature a date onscreen, that can help place IW as well (at least in terms of sometime after it). So, if A&tW shows a date I'd say, July, 2018, when it's released, IW (and Thor - Ragnarok) would have to occur sometime after. That would indicate the mention of an Asgardian in the city in AoS, which is pretty firmly set in Dec, 2017 to early 2018, would have to indicate a different Asgardian. Odin seems the most likely, since he was on Earth at the time.
Kevin Feige said Spider-Man 2 will be in Peter's junior year, and set after Avengers 4. So, with Peter's junior year coming to an end in June 2018,
Infinity War really shouldn't be later than June 2018, for Peter to still have some junior year left.
Thor: Ragnarok I feel is pretty firmly in 2017. There's the lines in the film, "Sokovia, Ultron, that was 2 years ago," "I've been Hulk for 2 years?", and "trapped for 2 years inside of a monster". And then there were loads of times that it got mentioned in interviews:
*
Mark Ruffalo: "He's been Hulk for 2 years, so he has a vocab of a 2-year-old. We're going to have a speaking Hulk."
*
Mark Ruffalo: "When we find him, he's been Hulk for 2 years [...] and now he's the gladiator champion of Sakaar, so he's enjoying quite a bit of fame and adulation."
*
Executive producer Brad Winderbaum: "It's not like, five minutes after Ultron ends we start this movie. It's a couple years later..."
*
Collider set visit report: "Hulk has been in 'Hulk-form' for 2 years straight."
*
Production designer Dan Hennah: "He's been Hulk for 2 years."
*
Executive producer Brad Winderbaum: "We kind of find him as like a lone gunslinger [..] A guy who's been adventuring around the cosmos, for 2 years right at the top of our movie. So he's a more savvy version of [himself]."
*
Visual effects supervisor Jake Morrison: "So we figured if Ruffalo's going to be delivering the lines, why not say because he was trapped in the back of Hulk's mind for 2 years that a little bit of him didn't leak out, maybe, and maybe that's why he can speak a little bit and maybe, just maybe, that means he might look a little but more like Ruffalo."
*
Visual effects supervisor Jake Morrison: "Okay, if Banner's been trapped inside the Hulk for the last 2 years, they've probably morphed a bit more, and there's a pretty good reason that the Hulk should look a little bit more like Ruffalo."
*
Mark Ruffalo: "He's been in the trunk of the Hulk for 2 years."
*The Russos also, talking about
Infinity War, said about Banner,
"Look, he disappeared for two years." We know it has to be closer to 3 actually, but I think this is mainly coming from the number of times Marvel mentioned that Banner's been Hulk for 2 years in
Ragnarok, and so that figure is in their head.
*And
Tom Hiddleston also said, "It's been 4 years since Thor: The Dark World, and Loki is pretending to be Odin."
The sheer number of times we've basically been told it's 2017 I feel outweighs the implication that
Infinity War is pretty soon after - if
Infinity War has to end up a few months after
Ragnarok, so be it, I personally feel.
The argument could be made that because time on Sakaar is different, the quotes about the Hulk just mean that he's been Hulk for 2 years personally, but outside of Sakaar it's been almost 3 years for everyone else - but it's Thor who tells Banner
Age of Ultron was 2 years ago, and a few of the quotes above don't refer to the Hulk but just generally a passage of 2 normal years, and all the Hulk-related ones are definitely intended as just the real amount of time that passed, not Sakaar time.
As for how
Ant-Man and the Wasp (or indeed
Avengers 4 or
Spider-Man 2) could help close in on specific dates for
Infinity War, I feel like we're hoping for no later than March 2018.
*From
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., ideally it would be January. This would make sense for the snow seen in
The Devil Complex, which is 4 days before the start of
Infinity War, the fact that
End of the Beginning, which is December 2013 on this timeline, is "four years ago" (so ideally this is as early as possible in 2018), and the fact that
The Devil Complex very much feels like merely days since Episodes 12 and 13, which are set in December 2017 - any more than a few weeks having passed becomes a big stretch.
*From
Thor: Ragnarok, again, it would ideally be January, to be as close as possible to the events of that film, which shouldn't really be later than early December 2017 (because of the reference in
All the Comforts of Home and the fact that as you get into late 2017, you're pushing it a bit for events from April/May 2015 to have been referred to so many times as just "2 years ago", not "over 2 years" or "more than 2 years").
*From the film itself, it would ideally be more like spring. The weather looks more like spring, and the references to
The Avengers (May 2012) being 6 years ago and
Civil War (March-April 2016 on this timeline) as being 2 years ago, would maybe suggest a little bit later than January.
But considering all of that, yeah, later than March would be problematic. And with
Spider-Man 2, unless there were some strange circumstance where
Avengers 4 rewinds things so that it actually finishes in the timeline months before
Infinity War started, or Peter has to retake junior year, we're looking at
Infinity War having to absolutely be no later than June 2018.
