lead time is time gap between order placed for purchase of an item and its delivery. Cycle is completion of full cycle ( cycle could mean production / manufacturing / sales cycle) i. e placing and order for purchase of an item , delivery of that item , paying for that item and using that item in production, selling the final output, collecting money from customer post sale
