Creative Commons used to have a "Founders' Copyright" [0] program that emulates the original U.S Copyright system. You enter a contract and delegate your copyright to CC, CC adds your work to a maintained list. After 14 years (or 28 years if renewed), CC releases the rights of your work for unrestricted uses. Tim O'Reilly was a prominent supporter, some O'Reilly books was published under this program. Unfortunately, this program is no longer active.
The Copyleft Next License also includes a Sunset Clause: It's a strong copyleft license, but 20 years after the initial publication of a work, the copyleft requirements no longer applies, it automatically degenerate to a MIT-style license. I like the idea - if nobody cares about a long obsolete version of a copylefted program, you may as well to maximize its remaining value by allowing unlimited uses. Perhaps not suitable for all programs, but has many suitable applications.
Unfortunately, a general license suitable for all works don't exist yet. But it should be easy to write one, for example...
Copyright (2021) J. Random. All rights reserved. A irrevocable License is granted hereby: 20 years after the initial publication of the work, you may reuse the work in accordance to the CC-0 license.
Before the License is effective, you may not use, distribute or modify the work without the explicit permission from the author.
