in good time

When the moment's right

In good time means with enough time to spare, neither rushed nor late: Don't worry, we'll get there in good time.

It can also mean eventually or when the moment is right: All will be revealed in good time.

The phrase suggests patience—things will happen at an appropriate pace.
