appointed time
When you're expected
An appointed time is a time that has been set or agreed upon in advance for something to happen.
It carries a sense of formality or inevitability, often appearing in religious or literary contexts: At the appointed time, the priest began the ceremony.
The phrase suggests the moment was fixed by authority or destiny rather than casual arrangement.
