Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  silfilla: I'd drop both *lapse of* and the parenthetical phrase, given the absence of context; *time between invoicing and payment* suffices IMO; not a single hit for *Aussenstandszeit* on Google // [...] I stand corrected [...]; thanks :-) // enjoy! :-)

  -> @silfilla: Thanks for agreeing. If you enter "Außenstandszeit" or "Außenstandszeiten" (ß instead of ss), you get 1 and 2 hits respectively which seem to confirm my guess. @silfilla: I owe you 2 of the 4 points! ;-))
