Just because you swapped the word "time" with "distance" doesn't mean you aren't still talking about time. Distance from what? How far it is from now until when the work will be done. You are still talking about time. I feel that swapping out the term with one that is more vague is, at worst, disingenuous, and at best, counter-productive.
