What a projection means here

A projected entry is a planning estimate built from the facility's last documented turnaround and a typical unit cycle. It is not an announced schedule, and the operator has not confirmed any 2027 work at this site.

Use it to decide where to prequalify and whose next quarterly disclosure to watch. Do not use it to time mobilization or to represent a schedule to a customer.
