window opening

Glass frame void

A window opening is a gap or aperture in a wall designed to receive a window frame.

In construction, the term distinguishes the rough structural opening from the finished window itself: The window opening measured thirty-six inches wide.

The phrase also describes the act of opening a window or a scheduled time when something becomes available: There's a brief window opening for applications next month.
