timing's
When something happens's
Timing's is the possessive form of timing, the selection or occurrence of moments when things happen.
It attributes something to timing itself: The timing's perfect—let's go now, It's not personal; the timing's just off.
Most often appears with contracted "is" rather than true possession.
