this is so why this damn verbal section is tricky...you gotta choose between which sentence fixes which error....oohh should i take the sentence that uses the correct idiom or take the sentence that modifies the correct subject!!!

the fact that prep companies mention the importance of grammar comes first and meaning comes last doesn't really help in this case does it now?

Your links not working :?
Sorry about that. Here is the correct link. Type "estimate" on the search tab and look for its usage as verb

You will find all the possible idioms linked to "estimate".

Received a PM asking me to respond - you've got it, estimated + infinitive, so "estimated to have" is okay! You just have to look at the rest of the words to see how to construct it (with estimated to be vs. estimated to have).
Please note: I do not use the Private Messaging system! I will not see any PMs that you send to me!!
