Japanese term or phrase: メンテナンス対応開始までの日数
I'm having a mental block - what would be a nice, smooth translation of this? It appears in a bullet list, so no context there. Basically, it's the number of days between the time we first contact the maker about a problem and the time they start performing maintenance/support work. I'm looking for something short and nice that would fit into a single line and just can't think of anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maintenance lead-time
Explanation:
Both answers are great. What about a combination of the two? "Maintenance lead-time" refers to the time required from the time maintenance is ordered to the time it is performed.

Lead time (days) to begin maintenance


Explanation:
One suggestion...

I think the "(days)" could be omitted as in this context, as "days" is probably the standard unit of time. [I guess you'll know that anyway...])

Lead time to start/begin maintenance.
