Abbreviation Plan.
Note we also want to avoid using Plan as an Abbreviation for Planned-Level because of the word identity with Concepts *108 (a plan in general), *169 (Plan-Do-Study-Act)
Rationale:
Plan Level as a Parameter has been in use in Planguage for decades. In 2002 we decided to replace it with the more-specific term Goal. This is due to the accumulation of many related Scalar Level Concepts. Plan once stood alone as the general future Level. But now we need to make a clearer distinction when using the specialized Levels like Wish, Stretch, Fail, Survival, Maximum, Minimum etc. In the long term I would like to retire Plan entirely as a synonym to Goal. But for the present we can let it live on for those who prefer it. <-Tom Gilb in collaboration with Kai Gilb.

Notes
Note Goal is our preferred Parameter name. But as we have used “Plan” in Planguage for decades, many people are accustomed to Plan and prefer to use it.
