The only mechanism for changing it is to modify the duration correction
factor.  The duration correction factor will correct itself over time
anyway, but it is possible to set it by hand to be closer to where it will
eventually stabilize.

Because some of the tasks are not linear in behavior, the remaining time is
a weighted average of the two obvious linear responses.  The first is based
on current progress versus time spent, and the second is current progress
versus the original estimate.  The weight of the first of these two is the
% completed.  So at 1% completion the estimate of time remaining is 0.01 *
the calculation based on progress and time spent and 0.99 * the calculation
based on % complete and the original time estimate.  At 99% complete the
time remaining is 0.99 times the first and 0.01 times the second.

Is it possible to edit the time to comletion? Right now I have an ABC unit
where the TTC goes down 1 second per 3 seconds. You could just calculate
how many second it takes to go down 1 minute, and divide  the total time
left by that divided by 60, or add one hour if it goes up, and try again.
Could this be implemented in a future (maybe the next) version?
