In architecture, much more than any of the other fine arts, there is a marked time lag between the __________ of ideas and their __________ in the shape of completed building.
emergence, application
The sentence contrasts two stages: when ideas first appear and when they are put into practice as a finished building. The time lag lies between these two stages.
‘Emergence’ (first appearance) of ideas and their ‘application’ (putting into practice) in the shape of a completed building fit both blanks and the logic of a delay between conception and execution.
‘Predictability’ of ideas in the shape of a building makes no sense; ‘welcoming’ of ideas in a completed building is illogical; ‘tradition’ of ideas and their ‘modernization’ does not describe a lag between conceiving and building.
emergence, application option is correct.

(a) absolute
