Not sure if this is the most elegant way but this should work:
f[list_, n_] := With[{rec = FindLinearRecurrence[list]},
Defer[LinearRecurrence[#1, #2, n]] & @@ {rec,
Take[list, Length[rec]]}]
Then
f[{2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17}, 10]
will give
LinearRecurrence[{2, -1}, {2, 5}, 10]
After copying and pasting this output to a new input line and evaluating you get
{2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29}
