missed window
Opportunity now gone
A missed window is an opportunity that has passed, a chance no longer available because the right moment has expired.
Windows of opportunity open and close—miss the window and the option disappears: We missed the window to refinance at low rates.
The phrase appears in medicine (treatment timing), business (market conditions), and everyday planning (scheduling conflicts).
