convenient timing
Fortuitous temporal alignment
Convenient timing describes events occurring at moments that suit someone's purposes or needs.
The phrase often carries an edge of suspicion—when something happens at a suspiciously opportune moment, people note the convenient timing to imply it wasn't coincidental: The witness's convenient timing in coming forward right before the trial raised eyebrows.
It can also be used sincerely for genuinely fortunate coincidences.
