Investopedia explains 'Leads And Lags'

Accelerating the transaction is known as "leads", while slowing it down is known as "lags". Leads will result when firms or individuals making payments expect an increase in the foreign-exchange rate, while lags arise when the exchange rate is expected to fall. Leads and lags are used in an attempt to improve profits.
