Unpredictable Research Results

Not absolutely sure if this bug but it is very irritating anyway. At end of turn I check my Research screen which says Battleships NEXT TURN....GREAT, I hit TURN right away. But, what happened, no Battleships 
My experience from recent Gigantic game is that at the start the Research estimate is accurate and can be trusted. However, as time goes by it becomes more and more unpredictable. In the early part of the game the workaround fix is to Save and Load the game. So, rather than next turn for those battleships, it is correct at 6 months now, assuming current spending. But, later on even that does not help. I have had it going both ways....sometimes with amazing gaps. Interestingly in the latter part it seems to swing back in your favour...especialyl if you r strong in research.
Any comments? Maybe this has been discussed loads before.
By the way, from UI point of view would be great to see the remaining months on the main screen...like we can for Social and Mil projects. Just 2 small words under the research slider, would save millions of screen refreshes for me
