timing window
Limited opportunity span
A timing window is a limited period during which something must happen or can be done effectively.
The term appears in technical contexts—The spacecraft had a narrow timing window for reentry—and in everyday planning: We have a small timing window to submit the application.
Outside the window, the opportunity closes or conditions change.
