From Kaplan Test

Hey

I don't get Kaplan's explanation in the attached question. Why is the term "within 20 years" implying the use of past perfect?

its implying past perfect because consider the following situation-

here with in 20 years means that something happened before the completion of 20 years therefore, past perfect has been used
