In that case be aware that you can request that the start date of the visa is delayed ... for up to 3 months. For example, whilst the visa might be approved say 1st February it might, at your request, have a start date of say 1st April .... and accordingly an end date of say 1st October.
A word of warning .... if you request a delayed start like that ... you cannot change it later. For example, using the above "facts", if there is later a desire to travel to the UK mid-March ... well impossible to do that without submitting another application!
Nevertheless this feature is useful, especially where you know the person certainly will not travel before a known date or has to give say one month notice to their current employer, and will not give that notice until the visa is actually in the passport.
