Planeerituteks

Planeerituteks is a term used in Estonian planning discourse to designate items that are intended to be included in future planning cycles. In practice, it functions as a category label in planning documents, backlog lists, and budget proposals, separating projects and tasks that are still awaiting formal scheduling from those already approved or in progress.

Etymology and usage: The term is derived from the verb planeerida ('to plan') and the suffix -tuteks, which marks the target of planning, yielding roughly 'for planning' or 'to be planned.' It is mainly found in formal planning contexts rather than everyday speech.

Contexts: It appears in municipal and government planning, corporate roadmaps, urban development, and public infrastructure programs, as well as in IT and education planning. In these domains, items labeled planeerituteks are subject to prioritization, scoping, and resource estimation before they can move into the active plan or backlog.

Usage guidelines: Documents commonly present a column or section for planeerituteks items, with fields for description, proposed timeline, dependencies, and responsible units. During planning cycles, stakeholders review and reclassify items, potentially advancing them to planeeritud (planned) or initiating them for execution.

Examples: In a city budget report, "Planeerituteks 2026 projects include road modernization and park redevelopment" indicates these projects are slated for consideration in the next cycle.
