Could you please tell me the differences between 'in 15 years' time' and 'in 15 years'?
Are they the same?

"in 15 years" vs "in 15 years' time".
They are about the same, but the latter emphasizes the time span by adding one more word.
Sometimes we want to draw attention to the length of time more than what "in 15 years" may afford.
So we say "in 15 years' time", "in the span of 15 years", etc. to highlight it. That's all.

Not quite the same. They can both mean "fifteen years from now", e.g. "I will retire in fifteen years". But if you say something like "I haven't been on vacation in fifteen years", then you wouldn't use the other form.

i think they have not the same meaning
u should say them in sentence
when u use "time"it refers to an special period
if u say them in sentence we can realize better
