stretchability

Ability to lengthen

Stretchability is the capacity to be stretched—how much something can extend without breaking or losing its shape.

The term applies to physical materials The fabric's stretchability makes it ideal for athletic wear and to abstract concepts like budgets or schedules The project timeline has some stretchability built in.
