Public bug reported:

It would be nice if the plymouth progress bar could make a rough time
estimate and then provide some text advising the user.  Currently it
progresses in percentages, and the user has to estimate time relative to
the percentage.

For example, on a machine with 1TB of disk space, a file system check at
boot can take several minutes.    In such long periods it would be nice
to tell the user it will be "a few minutes" or even go so far as to say
to "Enough time to make a cup of your favourite hot beverage" or some
such.
