I think the form should be trained with the timing you want to fight with, but not necessary the tempo.
Feeling/listening is our inborn senses, this is the tool(s) we use to develop correct sense of timing in our actions toward the forces that surrounds us. With correct sense of timing we correctly position ourself as we go along in life..the leverage is on our side.... There are applications that are dependent upon timing to work. However, there are lots that have little to do with timing, per se, and much more to do with position, leverage, feeling/listening, etc.

To continue on with the same form or move shows lack of awareness to that disruption

Here my concern is not about portraying myself of any kind of level, but to give my thoughts from the level of the question.

with moderate waves and doing form practice.

Information offered in a discussion can be understood in many different ways depending on level, experience, and ability.

Anyways, I'd be very interested to hear peoples perspective on this topic. On the idea of being able to deal with resistance applied while your doing the choreography of a form.
rojcewiczj wrote:To say that there is "power" in the form, for me, is to say that their is an intent that can handle the introduction of resistance. One simple way that this can be done is to have a clear sense of the overall direction of your body. Meaning, making sure that, in every movement you have a sense of the direction your body force is moving into.
If I had to narrow it down to one thing that CMA must do differently than striking arts in order to be effective, its the directional movement of the body. Meaning, you cant stand in one spot and use techniques from Xingyi or some other style and expect great results. You need to be moving in like an agile Sumo wrestler, cutting angles as you go, but always moving the body on a line, in some direction.
You can train forms in this manner by focusing on the intent for the whole body to move and act on the desired line, and the ability to adjust that like (cut angles) quickly and easily.
