delivery window
noun phrase
- the span of specified time within which a scheduled delivery must be made
(Freight Terminology Dictionary)

Delivery, the action of handing something over to another, stems from the Anglo-French delivrée, the noun use of the past participle of the Old French délivrer, which literally means to liberate or set free.
Window is a vivid metaphor and comes from the Scandinavian invaders and settlers of England in the early Middle Ages. Although there is no record of the exact word that was passed on, it was related to Old Norse vindauga, "window," a compound made up of vindr, "wind," and auga, "eye," reflecting the fact that at one time windows contained no glass.
The 800-year-old word window has restored a touch of its poetic heritage. In addition to delivery window, it is used figuratively in other expressions such as:
- launch window = used by space agencies to describe the period of time in which a launch is scheduled (NASA moved the launch window because of bad weather.)
- weather window = an interval of relatively fine weather (The climbers used the weather window to reach the summit in record time.)
