A project manager needs to know the date that a task is likely to be finished based on the current progress of the task and its predecessors…

The Estimated Date in Adobe Workfront represents a realistic projection of when a task will finish based purely on real-time progress, percent complete, and the status of predecessor tasks. Unlike other date metrics, the Estimated Date is explicitly designed to bypass hard scheduling limitations. Workfront’s internal analysis calculates this date entirely independently of any applied Task Constraints (such as "Must Finish On") or user-entered Commit Dates, providing project managers with an unfiltered, data-driven view of the task's true expected completion timeline

B. Projected Date: This date type is directly influenced by task constraints. If a strict constraint is applied, the Projected Date defaults to that constraint instead of ignoring it.

C. Planned Date: This date reflects the scheduled baseline dictated by initial project planning and constraints. It does not dynamically calculate completion likelihood based on real-time task progress.

Adobe Workfront Official Documentation, Overview of Projected and Estimated Dates, section "Understand when the Estimated Dates update on tasks". (Specifies that Estimated Dates reflect analysis regardless of Task Constraints). Adobe Workfront Official Documentation, Overview of the Task Planned Completion Date, section "Manually set the Planned Completion Date of a task". (Details how Planned Dates are tied to manual input and constraints, not dynamic progress).
