I haven't seen the 'pacna' in action before, but I don't think it is appropriate
here. It clearly seems to me to have a volitional sense, which is not (I
hope) the meaning of 'expect' you mean. Try smadi or la'erpai.

I can't make sense of this, and nor can the parser. ca cu'u would be
grammatical but gnomic ('are now expressingly experiencing'?)

'During the previous period of occurring-3-at-most-5-times experiencers

I suspect you meant
        masti be li ci boi su'omuroi lifri
