  I’d say start with something like this:

  moveDuration = 2;
  moveStart = inPoint;
  target = thisComp.layer(“objectB”).transform.position;
  moveEnd = moveStart+moveDuration;
  ease(time,moveStart,moveEnd,value,target.valueAtTime(moveEnd))

  Actually, that’s not the version I meant to post. That one heads directly for where objectB is going to be at intercept time. In this version, the tracking layer is always headed towards objectB:

  moveDuration = 2;
  moveStart = inPoint;
  target = thisComp.layer(“objectB”).transform.position;
  moveEnd = moveStart+moveDuration;
  ease(time,moveStart,moveEnd,value,target)
