Looking for the right idiom

Hi,

We use "for the better part of..." to mean more than a half, but what phrase should we use to emphasize that something was/has been going on for less than half a year, month, day, etc.

Thank you.

Anonymous what phrase should we use to emphasize that something was/has been going on for less than half a year, month, day, etc. I can think of no single equivalent phrase beyond 'for a part of'.
