It is difficult to tell with no more information than you gave.

I looked at your computer's output.

My guess is that BOINC does not know what to expect and is giving you bad estimates.

This will stop after some work units validate.

If it is still happening after a few days, post again.

Probably nothing, Boinc since about Boinc 7.2.38 will estimate an app's progress if an app doesn't report any progress (it might have a startup phase where it's not crunching),
Once the app does start reporting it's progress it'll drop either to zero, or whatever the checkpoint says.

No.

You just have to wait.

It may never stop doing this completely, as Claggy said. Some of my most reliable computers do this from time to time. It is not a problem.

My advice is to just stop watching. Your computer seems to be producing reasonable results in reasonable times.

Just have patience, and let it do it's thing, a number of the apps here only report progress at a number of points during their run.
