Really!?  TeX knows that estimates is hyphenated as es-ti-mates.

You said it yourself "linebreak"  give rise to\linebreak estimates

But this is a last resort in fixing the appearance.

You should have \sloppy in effect.  
Then to reduce the frequency of hyphenation,  say
\hyphenpenalty=200  (NOT \setcounter{hypenpenalty}{200} !!!*)

A good way to prevent a particular hyphenation is to say \mbox{estimates}
or estimates\/.


(*) \setlength{\command}{123pt} vs \setcounter{nameonly}{123} is one
of the worstest syntax decisions I have ever seen!
