Does this sentence "We will supply/provide them with 110 tanks in two years" mean that 1) two years from now, they will get 110 tanks at once (= the first one out of those, just like all the others, will be supplied/provided no sooner and no longer than two years from now), or that 2) they might start getting those tanks in the near future and the last one of those 110 tanks will be supplied no longer than two years from now? I guess that sentence means the former. I assume that in order to convey the latter, we would use "over" or "within" instead of "in". Is my understanding correct? The sentence is mine. My goal is to figure out which of the three "in", "within", or "over" to use.
