eternity - a seemingly endless time interval (waiting)

cycle, round, rhythm - an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs; "the neverending cycle of the seasons"

latency, rotational latency - (computer science) the time it takes for a specific block of data on a data track to rotate around to the read/write head

processing time - the time it takes to complete a prescribed procedure; "they increased output by decreasing processing time"

bounded interval, closed interval - an interval that includes its endpoints

open interval, unbounded interval - an interval that does not include its endpoints
