I think you are right. It does appear to be Duranta erecta. Duranta erecta is mostly grown as a garden plant not for its flowers but for nice glossy green foliage. It is often pruned to a reasonable height and is not allowed togrow freely to produce flowers which are aften seen only in large and tall plants. Hope I have shared something out of my common sense assumptions. Incidently as everyone knows apart from good nice bright green foliage it also produces colourful flowers and equally colourful fruits too.All of different colours.
