The appropriate moment of practical wisdom.
In phronesis, human life uncovers that to which it ultimately relates when it is practically involved with itself (in its own being, that is). In this way phronesis gives direction to every practical acting. Phronesis gives human beings who are acting access to their own situation by elucidating the purpose of the action, its appropriate moment and its appropriate way. That which the action must achieve (and which phronesis thus explains) on the one hand does not yet exist, but on the other hand already exists as revealed possibility.

P. 19
So there are appropriate moments, which humans choose as the "right time" to act, and then there is the event of appropriation which beyng grants dasein.
