set time

Prearranged meeting hour

Set time is the scheduled moment when something is meant to begin, especially a performance or event.

In live music and entertainment, the set time is when an act takes the stage: The headliner's set time is 9 PM.

The term also appears in technical contexts for materials like concrete or adhesive, referring to how long they take to harden.
