In both Brazilian and American business contexts, 'schedule gap' is a neutral, professional term commonly used in corporate settings, education, and project management. Brazilians often use 'lacuna' in formal contexts while 'buraco' (literally 'hole') is used more casually in everyday conversation. The concept reflects modern time-management culture prevalent in urban business environments.
