最近二周
We do have some problems with time references in Chinese, but "over the last 2 weeks" is definitely easier to translate then "during the past week (including today)."
My suggestion would be: Either "过去两周" or "最近两周" with a "以来" to specify the period would be all right.
I am of the opinion that "最近七天以来" spans over the past week (including today) and that "最近二周以来" spans over the past 2 weeks.

其实说“这两周以来”或“在这两周之间”也很清楚。

最準確而沒有任何歧義的依法是“過去/最近14天”﹐否則會有回答者不把本週計算在內。如果選用周﹐則“最近”比“過去”強﹐原因同上。
