on schedule

Right on time

On schedule means proceeding according to plan, arriving or completing at the expected time.

A project that's on schedule meets its deadlines; a train on schedule arrives when promised.

The phrase implies reliability and proper timing: The construction is on schedule for completion in June.

The opposite is behind schedule or ahead of schedule.
