As you said $\phi$ is a deterministic function, there should be no further condtions be necessary.
Because a time change is a nondecreasing cadlag function and Gaussian process is defined as (thats the definition I learned) a stochastic process $X_t$, so that for every $n\in\mathbb N$, every $t_1<...<t_n$ and every linear mapping $$l:\mathbb R^n\to \mathbb R$$ holds, that the real RV $l(X_{t_1},...,X_{t_n})$ is normal distributed. A deterministic change of time $\phi$ does not change anything of this property, since you can just choose new times $t'_1=\phi(t_1),...,t'_n=\phi(t_n)$ of which you already know, that $l(X_{t'_1},...,X_{t'_n})$ ist normal distributed.
If your function is not deterministic, this would not be the case in general as this post shows.
