reckoned on
Banked on happening
To reckon on something is to count on it or expect it as part of your plans: We hadn't reckoned on the weather turning so quickly.
The phrase often appears in negative constructions, suggesting something unexpected that disrupts calculations: I reckoned on resistance, but not outright hostility.
