Prepping period (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lead time

(Other definitions for lead time that I've seen before include "What will American magazine editor do" , "delay" , "How long to prepare" , "Gap between initiation and completion of a production process" , "Wait for delivery" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
