One limit of this table: it lists only Micro Four Thirds lenses that mount natively on the Panasonic Lumix GH7 — lenses fitted through an adapter are not included here. See which mounts adapt to which.
What these focal lengths actually give you on the Panasonic Lumix GH7
The Panasonic Lumix GH7 has a Micro Four Thirds sensor, so it sees a 2× crop of what each lens projects. Every focal length below therefore frames 2× tighter than its marked number. That works in your favour here: the OM System M.Zuiko 150-600mm f/5-6.3 IS reaches 1200mm of effective reach, which on a full-frame body would need a longer, heavier and far more expensive lens.
