Convert the date to a number of seconds, then round to the nearest 20 seconds and convert it back to a date. You can use FROM_UNIXTIME() and UNIX_TIMESTAMP() for the conversion. You can round to the nearest 20 seconds by dividing by 20, rounding to the nearest whole number, and multiplying by 20 again. Group by the resulting expression.
