Kohdepäivän

Kohdepäivän is a Finnish term that refers to the target day or target date for a task, milestone, or project. It denotes the date a team aims to reach, as opposed to the actual completion date. The concept is used in planning and scheduling to help set expectations, allocate resources, and guide work sequences.

Grammatically, kohdepäivän is the genitive form of kohdepäivä, which is a compound of kohde (target) and päivä (day). In use, kohdepäivän is employed to modify another noun, for example kohdepäivän asettaminen (the setting of the target day) or kohdepäivän muuttaminen (the changing of the target day). The base noun kohdepäivä is sometimes used in its plain form in less formal contexts.
