Near-term activities are typically easier to estimate because they are closer in time and are more likely to have a clear understanding of the resources needed and potential risks involved. Long duration activities may have more uncertainty and require more complex analyses, while short duration activities may be more easily definable but may become more difficult to estimate as they are integrated into the larger project plan. All the activities of the project may be difficult to estimate accurately at the beginning of a project due to uncertainties and unknown variables.
