incubations
Eggs being warmed
Incubations are periods of development under controlled conditions.
The word applies to eggs being kept warm until hatching, bacteria being cultured in a laboratory, or ideas being nurtured before they're ready to share.
An illness has an incubation period between infection and the appearance of symptoms.
Business incubators support startups during their incubation: The project is still in incubation.
