The natural timescales required for different development missions to succeed. Four primary domains: Health (3-7 years for intervention cycles), Science (2-5 years for research cycles), Climate (3-15 years for adaptation), Infrastructure (5-30 years for construction and maintenance).
Scientific research has a 15-25 year mission cycle from hypothesis to breakthrough. When funded by 3-year grant cycles, the 5-8× temporal misalignment causes 40% of scientist time spent on proposals instead of research.
