weeks
Fortnight divided equally
Weeks is the plural of week, the seven-day period that structures most calendars and schedules.
It often measures duration: The project took weeks, I haven't seen her in weeks.
The plural can suggest an indefinitely long time: We've been waiting for weeks.
Weeks went by before we heard anything.
