(fallow) waiting period
Explanation:
Linguée shows a lot of examples of 'waiting period' for "vazio sanitário," but to make the point clear, you could add 'fallow'. As you probably know, it means cleaning up an area occupied by animals (and sometimes crops) and letting it lie fallow for a legally mandated period of time.

Examples (few) of 'fallow waiting period':
