I think in most cases it might make sense to give the unit you expect to measure it in. “Days-long takeoff”. “Months-long takeoff.” “Years-long-takeoff”. “Decades-long takeoff”.
[By comparison, I forget the reference but there is a paper estimating how quickly a computer virus could destroy most of the Internet. About 15 minutes, if I recall correctly.]
I support replacing binary terms with quantitative terms.

serious answer that is agnostic as to how you are responding:
only if you know the takeoff is happening
