time line

History's visual chart

A time line is a visual representation of events arranged in chronological order along a line, typically used in history education or project planning: The time line showed major events of World War II.

More broadly, it's any schedule or sequence of events: What's the time line for this project?

Also spelled as one word: timeline.
