"for the first performance period, implementation projects will have an 11-month performance period running from August 1st of this year through June 30th of 2027. In future years, we anticipate that those performance periods would be 12-month performance periods.

From the transcript

Would I be able— how can I plan ahead? But for the first performance period, implementation projects will have an 11-month performance period running from August 1st of this year through June 30th of 2027. In future years, we anticipate that those performance periods would be 12-month performance periods. We're just all on a bit of a shorter timeline this first round, given the program buildup and given the shorter budget period that, that the state and CMS are working under here as well. So again, the future performance periods will be 12 months, but we would like applicants to use these dates when you're developing your work plans, your milestones, your staffing plans, and your budgets.
