Is there any word or phrase for "providing a way/solution for now/for the nonce"?
Example:
We seek a theory that help us explain A and B. Theory T seems to help
us explain A for now, but we haven’t yet examine T to see if it has
any problem and if it can explain B too.
What is the verb/phrasal verb to say the for-now service that T provide for us?
The word you're looking for is a stop gap solution:
stop gap a temporary way of dealing with a problem or satisfying a need
stop gap something that serves as a temporary expedient

If a particular theory is to be adopted provisionally, subject to further investigation, it can be described as a working hypothesis.
A short-term practical solution, as opposed to a theory, can be called a tactical solution, which can be contrasted with a strategic solution.
