French term or phrase: planning enveloppe d'intention
The full phrase is

Etablissement du planning enveloppe d'intention à joindre à l'appel d'offres.

This appears in a construction contract and obviously s making a reference to the tender process but I am clueless about the 'planning enveloppe d'intention' part.

proposed overall phasing/construction schedule
Explanation:
'envelope', presumably, because it covers the entire construction sequence and also because it is vague, time-wise, in that it does not specify calendar months as a normal schedule might, but simply the time frame (6 months to accomplish this, 3 weeks to accomplish that, 36 months to build the whole shebang and have it ready for opening to the public, etc.).

perhaps "d'intention" could = provisional
