delay time
Wait before response
Delay time is the interval between when something is initiated and when it takes effect.
In audio engineering, delay time controls how long before an echoed signal plays back: Set the delay time to 250 milliseconds for a slapback effect.
The term appears in electronics, manufacturing, and any context where lag between trigger and response matters.
