Rate analysis, estimation, and costing are all related to determining the cost of a project:

Rate analysis: A method for determining the total cost of a project by adding up the rates of different items. It also helps determine the rate per unit of work, such as labor, materials, and equipment.
Estimation: A rough calculation of a value, number, or quantity. It's a usable value even if the input data is incomplete, uncertain, or unstable.
Costing: The process of determining the cost of producing a product or providing a service. It involves identifying and adding up all the expenses associated with a business activity. 

Rate analysis helps to understand the estimate of new projects and choose tenders. Costing is typically used to develop costs for customers, distribution channels, employees, geographic regions, products, product lines, processes, subsidiaries, and entire companies.
