English: "The new station building is estimated to be complete in 2 years time."

Key vocabulary:

見込み(みこみ)= expectation, forecast, estimation

---

見極める(みきわめる)= to ascertain, to make sure of
(見極め isn't a common word.)

e.g. 善悪を見極めることは難しい。- To ascertain (know) right from wrong is difficult.

見晴らし(みはらし)- view

e.g. 霧が立ちこめて見晴らしがきかなかった。- A curtain of mist blocked our view.

見積もり(みつもり)- (a financial) estimate

e.g. 彼らの費用の見積もりは大幅な計算違いだった。- Their estimate of the cost was wide of the mark.

見通し(みとおし)- prediction, forecast

e.g. 来年の日本経済の見通しはどうでしょうか。- What will the Japanese economy be like next year?

You might think the right answer is 見積もり but this is only used when talking about an estimate for something financial.

見通し is used to "look through" the future and predict what is to come.

見込み literally "look into", is used in the same way as 見通し, to predict or guess something that's coming.
