English term or phrase: blue sky projections

"A perusal of tables 1 and 2 makes it clear that X's cash flow forecast is quite absurd, as it is based on Y's management ***"blue sky"*** projections for the revenue growth rate and the gross profit margin."

Ich denke, es entspricht der "Schönwetterprognose", möchte aber noch Bestätigung haben.

Danke!
