If you have paid intention to companies like Google, Facebook, Apple, Intel .etc. you will regular hear them talking about their "strategic" plan, and they will be all ways on the order of 6 or more years. In another word, what Yoshi said is completely "normal" in the actual working world once you get above certain size.
I'd imagine they have a rough outline of where they want to go in the next 10 years. But I doubt it's more then "Expansion 6 sometime in 2026, Expansion 7 sometime in 2028" and so on. I'd be amazed if they have actual storyboards and in depth plans for those expansions. At the same time, plans that far out are extremely subjective to change.
