| Jan 28, 2020 at 12:00 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | It's perhaps not the best expression to use here; I'd choose 'scheduled/expected/ready/about [to]' depending on the level of certainty (that it will actually be done) I wish to convey. However: CED has << due [adjective] (EXPECTED) ... B1 expected to happen, arrive etc. at a particular time: What time is the next bus due? / The next meeting is due to be held in three months' time. / | |
