- when can it be removed ?
- does it seem OK ? I tried other methods but this was the least invasive for the plant.

that cap would do fine, need not to cover the whole spike, just the tip would do.
to see if how fast can you remove the cap, it depends on how early can you detect whether it is a male bud that is forming.
by the way...ctsm planiceps?? a planiceps have a erect spike and not arching and also the bulbs are subconical in shape usually (meanings broader at base then tapered) and not fusiform or oblong fusiform as shown in your pic. would like to see how the flower looks like when it bloom.
