prospect of success
The likelihood or chance that an undertaking, action, or plan will succeed. Very often used in the plural ('Erfolgsaussichten', prospects of success).
Trotz der Schwierigkeiten hat das Projekt gute Erfolgsaussichten.
Despite the difficulties, the project has good prospects of success.
The word is a compound of 'Erfolg' (success) and 'Aussicht' (prospect). So it describes the 'Aussicht' (prospect) or perspective of having success with something.
Die Erfolgsaussicht dieses Plans ist schwer zu bewerten.
The prospect of success for this plan is hard to assess.
Although the singular exists, this word is very often used in the plural 'die Erfolgsaussichten' (the prospects of success). This emphasizes that it is often about assessing various factors.
Die Ärzte schätzen die Erfolgsaussichten der neuen Therapie als sehr hoch ein.
The doctors rate the prospects of success for the new therapy as very high.
It is often described what the prospects of success are like: they can be 'gut' (good), 'schlecht' (bad), 'gering' (low), or 'vielversprechend' (promising). A project 'hat' (has) or 'bietet' (offers) prospects of success.
Das junge Unternehmen hat vielversprechende Erfolgsaussichten.
The young company has promising prospects of success.

Die Aussicht can generally refer to a future chance or prospect. Die Erfolgsaussicht specifically assesses how likely an undertaking is to succeed. When the possible success of a plan is meant explicitly, „Erfolgsaussicht“ is more precise; for a more general positive possibility, „Aussicht“ is sufficient.

Die neue Förderung bietet uns die Aussicht auf eine bessere Zukunft.
