impovement / improvement process

Explanation:
Either of these would do, I think. 'Traject' is often a tricky word to translate, and if the other part of the word gives the sense of the abstract process, as 'improvement' does here, then it should be enough on its own.

verbetertraject improvement programme

Explanation:
I often use 'programme' to translate the Dutch term 'traject'. It seems to me that 'verbetertraject' or 'improvement programme' has wider (strategic/long-term) implications than just 'improvement process'.

The Behaviour Improvement Programme (BIP) is one of the central elements of the Government strategy to improve behaviour and attendance in schools and is an integral part of the drive to raise standards.

Note: your 'verbetertrajecten' seem to be part of a 'continuous improvement cycle', in which case 'improvement processes' is perhaps the best choice after all :-)

action plan

Explanation:
This is what the Juridisch/economish woordenboek says.

See:
http://www.askjim.biz/answers/action-plan-definition_3359.ph...
"An action plan is a specific series of steps taken to accomplish a specified goal. An action plan generally includes steps, milestones, measures of progress, responsibilities, assignments and a time line."
