fortnights

Fourteen-day periods

Fortnights is the plural of fortnight, a period of two weeks.

The word is common in British English but sounds foreign to most Americans: I'll be on holiday for two fortnights.

It appears in contexts involving schedules, pay periods, and recurring events: The magazine publishes fortnightly.
