fruition

Plans finally materializing

Fruition is the point at which plans or efforts produce results—the realization of something worked toward: Years of research finally came to fruition.

The word almost always appears in the phrase come to fruition or bring to fruition.

Despite its sound, fruition connects to enjoyment rather than fruit, though the "bearing fruit" sense has become dominant.
