Learn English – Equivalent of “collocate” but for time rather than space

single-word-requests

I'm looking for a word that can be a drop-in replacement for collocate, but referring to things existing or occurring at the same time as opposed to at same place.

I've considered cotemporate but it sounds made-up.

Example usage:

I will collocate the two meetings so that they start and finish at the same time

Synchronize will work for you. It can be used transitively just like collocate.

synchronize (verb) trans. To cause to be, or represent as, synchronous; to assign the same date to; to bring together events, etc. belonging to the same time. (OED)

Requested example usage:

I will synchronize the two meetings so that they start and finish at the same time.
