Chinese term or phrase: 开放周期
Hello, the context is 这个是造成开放周期长。

I don't really understand the concept behind the 开放周期 or the process of the 开放周期 so I haven't come up with a good term for this yet. It seems like the 开放周期 is referring to a part of a cycle in which a supplier works with another company to help get the company's product on the market.

Another example of context is 新产品开放周期必然会缩短.

Any and all information is appreciated. TIA!

Explanation:
很可能是“开发周期”。“新产品”和“开放周期”搁一块,本身就让人不知所云,难道新产品还有不开放的周期?仅供参考
