You may want to check your math and/or sources
700k per day would mean 486 movements per minute assuming 24h operation
From what I heard but I may be wrong here, 700k is the projected max movement per year starting 2020.

As we have seen with BER and Stuttgart 21 (two name just two) nothing is done deal until it is actually operating. So I believe it, when I see it. And on top of that, oliver stated that both are "not really limited in capacity". which I doubt. Yes, T3 is likely to come and with 4 runways FRA is pretty efficient but beyond that growth options are certainly limited, at least at FRA.
