The difference between resolution and completion is quite subtle. Resolution if it is definitely a problem, completion if it is more general job. Using resolution is a little more positive, in that it is focussing on the fact that you are solving a problem, but it might sound a little strange if you are not. To me - the choice is yours.
'time of' would refer to a time of day, e.g. 3pm tomorrow.
'time' is a little ambiguous. It could be either the time that it will be finished, as above, or the time until it is finished.
So 'Estimated completion time' could be '12 hours [from now/the start of the job], or 3pm tomorrow
Your 5) is the only one where the grammar is incorrect.

I would say something like "the likely date of completion" or "the scheduled completion date".
