Timing failure is a failure in a time related process in machinery or computing.
Computing
In computing, it refers to a process, or part of a process, in a synchronous distributed system or real-time system to meet limits set on execution time, message delivery, clock drift rate, or clock skew. Asynchronous distributed systems cannot be said to have timing failures as guarantees are not provided for response times.
Machinery
In engineering and mechanics a timing failure typically refers to an issue with the timing belt of an engine.[1][2]
