Basically synchronization and wait are confusing terms.
There are 2 types of Synchronization.
Local and Global.
For an object there is a Global synch time (20 seconds by default)(Available under File->Settings->Run in QTP 9.0)
and additionally we can set individually the synch time for a particular object.
Hence total synch time is =
Local + Global synch time.
In wait there is no Global concept and it is local to that object only.
Another key differnce is:
Suppose we have put a wait for 10 seconds then the application would wait for 10 seconds unconditionally.But say if we put a synch point of 10 secs say for an object to appear(local) and default Global synch time is 20 seconds,then total synch time for that object is 20 + 10 =30 seconds,
but in case the object would appear in 15 seconds itself,eventhough the total synch time was 30 seconds,the script would proceed to the next task.
Hope the concept is clear,it can help beginners especially.
