points in time
When things happen
Points in time are specific moments or instants, as opposed to durations or periods.
The phrase emphasizes precision or discreteness: At various points in time, the company considered relocating.
Often the phrase is unnecessarily wordy—"at that point in time" rarely says more than "then."
