This is called the "inchoative stage".

A process has three stages: inchoative (before the beginning), continuative
(while it is going on), perfective (after its completion).

It also has three special points: the initiative (beginning), the terminative
stopping point), the completitive (natural end point).
A process that stops *after* its natural end has a fourth stage: the superfective.
