The role of "occur" in this context

Question

Can anyone explain the structure of the following sentence? Is "occur" the verb? Should it not be "occurring" or "occurred"? Don't you think it was better to write "... desirable nucleation to occur in ..."?

 

It is obvious that it is highly desirable to have nucleation occur in a very short period of time.

با سلام

have در این جمله ، یک فعل سببی است (causative verb).

معلوم : have + doer + شکل ساده فعل

... مطلوب ترین حالت ، این است که (فرایند) nucleation در مدت زمان بسیار کوتاهی رخ دهد.

...مطلوب ترین حالت ، این است که کاری کنیم فرایند nucleation در مدت زمان بسیار کوتاهی رخ دهد.

Nothing's wrong with the structure.
