Thank you for the confirmation! - and to olgaproz for the additional suggestions. I'll choose this answer as the explanation of the essential idea. As I've indicated, I'm more inclined to use "window" here. There are many examples of the kind you mention: "* hour night-time window" (i.e. "window" in the sense of scope, time/room for doing something, like "window of opportunity").

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks. I can see how "margin" is being used here: the bits on either side of the "heart"! - but I'm not sure it's right for this context.
