leaway
tiempo extra


Explanation:
En realidad no es "leaway", sino "leeway" y hay dos posibles usos dependiendo del contexto. El primero es tener la libertad para actuar como uno desee y el segundo y es tener el tiempo (extra) necesario para lograr algo.

Example sentence(s):
  • With thirty minutes leeway we can get there on time.
  • Con treinta minutos extra podemos llegar a tiempo.
