Some sort of new Campus district building.
It seems to be a Unique Campus for the Maya.
From which screenshot or video is that?

Lifetime could be something to deal with people producing units early game and then just upgrading without building new ones later in the game. Like after X amount of turns the unit is auto-disbanded.

I hope there's a warning for that.

Perhaps the game could allow cities to produce "reinforcements" that could be used to extend the lifetimes, allowing the original unit to remain in its place and maintain its promotions.

Notice the linked fences and adjacency to Plantations. This is likely a unique improvement for Gran Colombia
The "lifetime" stat could be something as simple as just a count of the number of turns the unit has been alive.

good point ! So now the question becomes: is it an Upwards counter or is it a Downwards counter

True, but I don't know why that information would be useful to display.

Like fame or reputation. It's how much news of that unit's feats have spread.

I think it's like having status

"Renown" in military history refers to the Reputation of the unit, usually the result of some exploit on the battlefield. It can be a very important Force Multiplier. Some historical examples:
Spartan Hoplites. Their Renown was so great that other Greek armies ran away as soon as they saw the Spartan shields "with the red lambdas gleaming" coming at them out of the dust.
Garde Imperiale (in Civ VI already). The Old Guard Grenadiers had such a reputation that the sight of their tall bearskin helmets was enough to make enemy armies reconsider what they were doing.
And a perfect personal example was the Native American warrior named Man Afraid of His Horses. What that name meant was that he was considered so dangerous a fighter that his enemies were even afraid of his horses
All of which leads me to suspect that the Renown mechanism might be something added to a unit for some performance (killing several enemy units, taking a city, etc) that results in a Special Promotion after which they reduce enemy Combat Factors or Movement - unless the enemy unit also has Renown!
The improvement in the top right of your clip is not adjacent to any plantations. So yes, it definitely does look like an Outback-Station-esque improvement in that it does not require the presence of adjacent improvements but provides bonuses if they are present.

We aren't, I think it's just speculation at this point.
