You can do with a custom function like below:-

<?php

$actual_time = "34:20";

$time_to_reduce = "2:40";

function timeSubtactionFirstTime($actual_time ,$time_to_reduce){
   $actual_time_array = explode(":",$actual_time);
   $time_to_reduce = explode(":",$time_to_reduce);
   $final_result = [];
   if($actual_time_array[1] < $time_to_reduce[1]){
     $actual_time_array[0] = $actual_time_array[0]-1;
     $final_result[] = $actual_time_array[1]+60-$time_to_reduce[1];
   }else{
     $final_result[] = $actual_time_array[1]-$time_to_reduce[1];
   }
    $final_result[] = $actual_time_array[0]-$time_to_reduce[0];

    return implode(":", array_reverse($final_result));
}

echo timeSubtactionFirstTime($actual_time ,$time_to_reduce);
