I'm from the Philippines, and whenever I read the history of US colonialism there, most sources say that the Americans promised the Filipinos independence after a very specific timeline. They said this very early in their occupation—early 1900s, when the whole period lasted from 1898–1946.

And they were pretty close too. From 1935 onward, the plan was to release the Filipinos within 10 years, and despite the World War II interruption by the Japanese, the Americans managed to set their colony "free" without much of a schedule lag—independence was scheduled around 1945, so as it was actually granted in 1946, they were off by a year or less!

This is not something I've read other colonial empires doing, whether the British, the French, the Dutch or Portuguese, and I'm not sure if the US did the same with its other colonies—Puerto Rico, for example, is still a colony today, did the US never intend to let them go after a set period? (Cuba, on the other hand, seems to have been intentionally let go, although the US quickly supplanted formal independence with an informal virtual monopoly on their economy, plus direct military control via Guantanamo.)

TL;DR: Is it only the US that planned its colonies' independence, or did the British ever plan to free India after a certain period, or the French likewise with their colonies, or any other colonial power with theirs?
