"Estimated liability" refers to a potential financial obligation or debt that a company expects to owe in the future, but the exact amount is not yet known. (superfastCPA)
An estimated liability is an obligation for which there is no definitive amount. Instead, the accountant must make an estimate based on the available data. A warranty reserve is based on an estimate of the number of warranty claims that will be received. Similarly, a defined benefit pension liability is based on multiple estimates of how long employees will live, how long employees will continue to work for the company, and the return on investment of funds set aside for pension payments. (AccountingTools)
Under IFRS, a provision is the same as an estimated liability. (Vaia)
