In this sentence 'if we had more time' is a condition and 'we would have been more prepared' is a consequence.
'If we had more time' refers to the present (due to the form 'had').
'We would have been more prepared' refers to the past (due to the form 'would have been').
Now, just think how could a hypothetical situation in the present involve something as consequence in the past. Absurd, isn't it?
It could be vice versa. The condition could refer to the past, and the consequence from it - to the present. For that you need to change the verb forms in the sentence as follows:
If we had had more time we would be more prepared now.
