What is the canonical name for a function that ensures that an asynchronous task takes at least x time to resolve?

Say we have an asynchronous function that may resolve within any duration. However fast it may be, we want to ensure it never resolves before t time as passed. To achieve this in a reusable way, we create a function (here in JavaScript):

async function stall(task, minDuration) {
  // Wait until both `task` and `delay(minDuration)` resolves
  // and return the results from `task`
  const results = await Promise.all([task, delay(minDuration)])
  return results[0]
}

where delay() is a simple function that resolves after a given amount of time.

Is there a canonical name for the stall() function?
