 (MO to architect Lieven Litaer, 10/24/2011):  "[Maltz] did say, though, that there is a verb {ren} that means design or map out or plan. ... {ren} is not the same as {'ogh} "invent", which implies creating something that hasn't been created before. And it's not the same as {nab} "plan" which is used for planning an event (or a battle strategy or whatever), just as the noun {nab} "plan" cannot be used to refer to blueprints.

(KGT 48):  The noun {tuH} refers to a military  maneuver of any kind. A specific plan or  stratagem usually has a code name ({per yuD} [literally, "dishonest label"]) coined especially for the occasion and not necessarily used again.

(De'vID < MO, 2/25/2018):  Schedule in this sense is the same as plan, so make use of {nab}.
