we checked (for our paper on sound changes in Vilela) with a similar question the ASJP-database (<a href="http://asjp.clld.org" target="_blank">asjp.clld.org</a>). See specifically the related paper of Brown, Holman & Wichman 2013 for sound changes:<br>
The t͡ʃ > t sound change ranks at the 3rd place among the top 50 most frequent changes. c > t would be at rank 7.<br>
Hope this helps,<br>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
I'm interested in the extent to which synchronic alternations or sound<br>
changes like [c] > [t] are common (or not). The palatal 'input' could<br>
also be an affricate [t͡ʃ], the important thing being that the result is<br>
a dental or alveolar [t]-like segment.<br>
<br>
If anyone has examples of such a process, whether as a synchronic<br>
alternation or as a documented or reconstructible sound change, I'd be<br>
very happy to hear about it, and to post a summary.<br>
<br>
Thanks and happy holidays to all!<br>
