In December 2009, the PD-14 was developed to be 15% more efficient than its PS-90A2 predecessor to be installed on the MS-21 and the Ilyushin Il-276.

The PD-14 was announced in early 2010 with its development cost estimated at RUB 35 billion (US$1.1 billion).

In April 2010, Aviadvigatel was expecting to start its certification procedure in 2012.

Its core was first tested on 26 November 2010.

It was displayed for the first time at the 2013 MAKS air show.

Flight tests began in 2015 on an Ilyushin Il-76.
Between December 2016 and May 2017, the PD-14 operational performance and working efficiency at all altitudes and speeds were assessed on the Il-76 testbed aircraft at Gromov Flight Research Institute near Moscow.
After two years exploring performance at most altitudes, airspeeds and operating modes, the first and second testing stages confirmed its basic operating parameters.
A third phase of flight tests debuted in January 2018 from the GFRI Zhukovsky Airfield, conducted in co-operation with certification specialists to formally confirm the pre-certification efforts findings.

Ground tests will continue in parallel, and United Engine Corporation claims that the engine matches the performance of products from foreign competitors and surpasses them for noise and emissions.
Bird strike tests on the fan, including high-speed video and vibration measurements, were conducted together with fan blade strength tests.
 The successful results are expected to reduce the time and cost of attaining full certification status.

United Engine will deliver five PD-14s to Irkut by the end of 2018, after Rosaviatsia certification, to start flight tests on the MC-21 in 2019 for type certification of the variant in 2021.EASA certification is expected when it will enter series production.

In October 2018, Rosaviatsia granted certification to the PD-14, and deliveries of the first engines for two MC-21s are expected by the end of 2018.
European certificate validation is planned for 2019.
