The time b/w entering to exiting of the same thing is called Residence Time The time gap b/w 1 entering and another exiting is called Throughput The time for first entering to first exiting is called Windup

Not entirely sure where I stand when it comes to prescriptivism, so I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it

However, "time" isn't really the metric being used here. How about e.g. "this contraption requires 2 windup cycles" instead?
