mass study*
Explanation:
I know that the answer 'mass study' was given, but mine has a totally different background, based on common practice in the field of architecture, nothing to do with large-scale research.

A mass study is often done follows the preliminary design.

"At the same time architects often use a mass study. The mass study is the first study of how a design looks in 3D. It can be done as a small-scale model, but it can also be done in CAD.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I search for quite some time in Google until I found this: kleur- en massastudie= model to study colour and volume. So they actually mean the little paper model that architects build. (Not at all what I was expectingwhen I saw the word "massastudie"!) I'm going to use 'volume study model'
