You can say "trop de temps" but it may change a bit the meaning. "Beaucoup trop" is a way to say that it was "far too/way too...". In French, I would explain the difference like this :
-Vous avez mis trop de temps : but it's ok just this once.
-Vous avez mis beaucoup trop de temps : and this is not ok at all.
