French term or phrase: délai d'action
A survey on a certain drug drew the following responses:

L'impact global sur la sante sexuelle semble limite. Certaine peuvent considerer le delai d'action trop long. La somnolence semble etre un probleme possiblement important.

Délai d'action un peu trop long et profil d'effet secondaires

Délai d'action trop long

Début d'action trop long

Would you say these are synonyms, or used synonoymously, ie onset?

Explanation:
In a publication named "Développement clinique des contraceptifs stéroïdiens féminins" by the wonderful folks at Health Canada, you'll find a standard translation for "délai d'action" which seems to fit the context that you've given us:

Il convient d'évaluer le délai d'action, en relation avec le début du traitement et la dose de stéroïdes, et le délai de restauration de la fonction ovarienne normale après l'interruption du traitement.

The time to onset of action, in relation to the start of treatment and dose of steroids and the time to return to normal ovarian function after discontinuation of treatment should be investigated.
