The feature you are looking for is deadlines; see "8.3 Deadlines and scheduling" in the manual. Also, check out the variable org-deadline-warning-days, which defaults to 14. This means that as soon as the deadline is less than two weeks away, it will show up in the agenda (and org-mode will display the number of days remaining). You can change this number globally through the variable. To change it for a single deadline to, say, 70 days: DEADLINE: <2010-02-26 Fr -70d> AFAIK, the number of days remaining will only be displayed in the agenda view and there is no feature that displays it in the actual org file.
