/taɪm tuː bɪld/
EN
The period of time required to construct, assemble, or develop a physical structure, product, project, or capability.
The construction company estimated the time to build the new apartment complex would be roughly 18 months.
Etymology
The phrase combines the Old English word 'time' (originating from Proto-Germanic *timōn, meaning a period or measure of hours/days) and 'build' (from Old English byldan, stemming from Proto-Germanic *buþlijanan, meaning to construct or dwell), forming the common phrase by the 18th century to describe construction duration.
