A visionary is a person who thinks about the long-run results in the future.

Would the long-run results be in the past?

That's a very tame description of a visionary. Lots of people are capable of looking at the future and considering the long-term results of things. Those people are not necessarily considered visionaries.

 

[tufguy]

Would the long-run results be in the past?

No.

I think you could use long-term, though I am not sure that it is a great definition.

 

[SoothingDave]

No.

Then you don't need to say "in the future."
