Indeed, there does appear to be some parameters for that:

  date      (read-only)  The date when the build completed or is estimated to complete. 
  estimate  (read-only)  If true, the date value is an estimate.
  eta       (read-only)  The datetime when the build job is estimated to complete. 

I've not seen estimates elsewhere for other areas of the LP api, so I
wasn't expecting that for this case, but there it is.

Yeah, I hear you for sure.  Good topic to discuss tomorrow.
