The key evolutionary development of animals seen for the first time in sponges is that of Multicellularity. A Multicellular organism has a longer lifespan than an unicellular organism and since it has multiple cells, it can perform more functions. Sponges do not have distinct circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and excretory systems – instead the water flow system supports all these functions.
The period you’ve described would be the G2 phase which is considered a “checkpoint” that determines whether or not a cell can enter the mitosis phase
