time horizon
Future outlook period
A time horizon is the span of time over which a plan, investment, or decision is meant to unfold.
Financial advisors ask about your time horizon to gauge how much risk you can tolerate—a longer horizon allows recovery from losses.
The term applies broadly: What's your time horizon for this project?
Climate policy requires thinking in longer time horizons than election cycles.
