'Will have collected' is 'future perfect'. Future progressive would be - will be collecting. Future would be - will collect. And future perfect progressive would be - will have been collecting.

Answer:

The verb tense that describes something existing or happening before a specific time in the future is future perfect.

Explanation:

The future perfect is made up of the simple future of the verb to have (will have) together with the past participle of the main verb. This tense is used to talk about an action that will be completed between the present time and some point in the future, before a specific given time.
