For me a late charge on the kicker has to be quite soon after he kicks it.
But obstructing the kicker can be any time between when he kicks it and when he arrives at the landing place of the ball (assuming he chases after it).
The intention of the law is to prevent opponents from stepping in the kickers way as he chases down his own kick to prevent him from getting under it.
