Genomförbar

Genomförbar is a Swedish adjective meaning capable of being implemented or carried out. It describes plans, proposals, projects or decisions that can realistically be realized given constraints such as budget, time, technical feasibility, regulatory requirements and organizational capacity. The related noun is genombörbarhet or genombarlhet? Wait—no, the correct noun is genomförbarhet, used to refer to the feasibility of a plan or project.

Etymology and form: The word is formed from the prefix genom- (through, across) and bar, with the suffix -bar indicating "able to be." The result conveys that something can be brought to completion or execution when conditions permit. In use, the term often appears in phrases such as ett genomförbart förslag or ett genomförbart projekt.

Usage: In project management, an assessment of genomförbarhet evaluates resources, risks, timing, technical requirements and expected impact to judge whether a project is feasible to proceed. In public policy, urban planning and engineering, it stands as a criterion for choosing among alternatives. In everyday language, people may say att något är genomförbart to indicate that an idea or plan can be put into practice.

Nuances: Genomförbar refers to possibility of execution under current conditions; it does not by itself imply profitability, desirability or success. A plan can be genomförbar yet still require changes, additional resources or adjustments to meet objectives. It contrasts with terms like lönsam (profitable) or realistisk (realistic in a broader sense), which address different aspects of a proposal.

Examples: Förslaget anses genomförbart inom den föreslagna budgeten. Projektet bedöms inte vara genomförbart utan fler resurser. Det är viktigt att gör en genomförbarhetsbedömning innan beslut fattas.
