The gap is needed in case the election is disputed. If there is a recount that would take some time. If the House has to choose the President, the President has to be chosen after the new House is seated.If all cases, it takes some time for the new President to choose his cabinet and hire his staff. He has to make final plans his new government. He also has to prepare to move, find schools for his children and such.(another idea)The time period between the presidential election and his inauguration is because of the lame duck period. where the old president has time to spend one last holiday in the White House and has time to finish the year as President. That is like a "neutral" period in the presidency.

The 20th Amendment abolished the practice of the "Lame Duck" session in Congress.

What is the difference between the honeymoon period and the lame duck period of a presidency?
The Honeymoon Period: The period from the inauguration to the first major political challenge to a new president's administration. It is marked by general good will, benefit of the doubt in complicated situations and willingness to be open to new initiatives. It ends with a political challenge of some sort. For example, the Democrats in Congress standing up to block the funding of the closing of Guantanamo Prison may have signaled the end of Obama's honeymoon. Lame Duck Period: This is the time between and election that an incumbent loses or does not run in and the inauguration of the next person to take that position. George Bush was a lame duck president from November 4 until Obama's inauguration in January. This period is usually characterized either by inactivity, because of anticipation of the next administration; or a flurry of political initiatives due to the "nothing to lose" nature of the position.
What is the time period called between November and January when the president is elected?
presidential votes happen on national election day, the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. That date changes each year. the President takes office at noon on January the 20th of the next year (about 2 months after "winning") that gives the new President time to organize herself (or himself, but I suppose I am being hopeful there) before taking over. It also gives the sitting President time to call the movers.
If George Washington was sworn in on April 30 why do you use the date January 20?
The date set in the Constitution is March 4, to allow time for the electoral college vote and preparation by a newly-elected President to move to the capital. In the 1930's, with modern transportation and logistics, it was decided that the period between election and inauguration was too long. The 20th Amendment (passed March 2, 1932 and ratified January 23, 1933) changed the Inauguration to January 20. The new date was first used in President Franklin Roosevelt's inauguration on January 20, 1937.

I'm not sure if there was ever an "official" reconstruction period. Generally, "Reconstruction" is applied to federal government policies applied to defeated Southern states as early as 1863. Historians generally agree that Reconstruction policies ended soon after the inauguration (following a razor-thin election) of Rutherford B. Hayes in 1877.
