uitgewerkt

Uitgewerkt is a Dutch term that functions as both an adjective and the past participle of the verb uitwerken. It conveys that something has been developed, elaborated, or worked out in detail. The form can modify a noun (for example, een uitgewerkt plan) and is also used in verb phrases to indicate completion, such as het plan is uitgewerkt.

In usage, uitgewerkt emphasizes thoroughness and completeness. It is common in contexts such as design, policy development, project proposals, academic writing, and journalistic reports when a concept has been fully developed rather than merely sketched. The word often signals that a solution, guideline, or design has been analyzed, refined, and prepared for implementation or presentation. It can appear in phrases like uitgewerkt ontwerp (a detailed design) or uitgewerkt voorstel (a well-developed proposal).

Etymologically, uitgewerkt combines the prefix uit- (“out, up, to completion”) withwerken, meaning “to work.” The nuance is that the work has been carried through to a finished, usable state. In contrast to more provisional or rough drafts, een uitgewerkt document is intended to be actionable and ready for review or execution.

Typical synonyms or near-equivalents include gedetailleerd, grondig uitgewerkt, and volledig uitgewerkt. The term is widely understood in formal and professional Dutch discourse and is appropriate for describing plans, models, or arguments that meet a standard of detail and polish.
