thank you for the valuable comments. I think I've incorporated them all.
Furthermore I reworded some of the comments and I introduced a defvar,

descriptive text isn't hardcoded anymore, but customisable.

Make anniversaries' time span information more descriptive in agenda.
* lisp/org-bbdb.el (org-bbdb-anniversary-description): New function.
(org-bbdb-general-anniversary-description-after): New variable.
(org-bbdb-anniversaries-future): Incorporate calculation of the description.
