timeframe

Window for completion

A timeframe is a period during which something happens or is expected to happen.

It sets boundaries on when events occur or when tasks should be completed.

What's the timeframe for this project?

The word often appears in business and planning contexts where deadlines matter.

Timeframe and time frame are both acceptable spellings, with the single-word form becoming increasingly common.
