Durchführbar

Durchführbar is a German adjective meaning feasible, doable, or capable of being carried out. It describes something that can be implemented in practice given the current conditions, resources, and constraints. In planning and decision contexts, proposals are often assessed for their Durchführbarkeit, i.e., their practicality and likelihood of execution.

Etymology and form: the word derives from durchführen "to carry out" plus the adjectival suffix -bar. It is declined like other strong adjectives: der durchführbare Plan, des durchführbaren Plans, die durchführbare Maßnahme, das durchführbare Konzept, die durchführbaren Vorschläge. Predicative use is common: Es ist durchführbar.

Usage: common in business, project management, and policy contexts to express that a plan or measure can be realized under current constraints. It is often contrasted with "machbar" (more general) and "umsetzbar" (capable of being implemented), with durchführbar implying practical feasibility within specified conditions.

Related terms: Durchführbarkeit (noun) denotes feasibility of execution; Durchführbarkeit can also refer to the broader feasibility of a project. Other synonyms include realisierbar and praktikabel, though nuances vary by context and region.

Examples: "Der Plan ist durchführbar, wenn die Ressourcen vorhanden sind." "Eine durchführbare Lösung" suggests a solution that is both technically possible and actionable within constraints.
