The Nix thesis uses "runtime".
It seems the Nix manual also use "runtime": https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/glossary.html?highlight=runtime#glossary
Nixpkgs manual is inconsistent:
68 results for "runtime"
16 results for "run-time"
6 results for "run time"
While "runtime" is the most popular one, I don't think it makes sense to use "evaluatetime" nor "buildtime".
I couldn't find references for "evaluatetime", "evaluate time", "evaluate-time" in the Nix manual nor nixpkgs manual.
However, "build time" and "build-time" are both used in Nixpkgs manual, along with a glossary entry in Nix manual: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/glossary.html?highlight=build-time#glossary
People usually write "eval-time" or "evaluation time", which is next level of inconsistent.
