English term or phrase: big stretch
Aus der an seine Mitarbeiter gerichtete Folienpräsentation eines Konzerns:

"The organic growth target for the year is much higher than we've previously delivered.
Although it is a ****big stretch****, our competitors A, B, C and D all great at more than 4% over the first three quarters of 2007..."

("...great at more than 4%..." sollte wahrscheinlich "...grate at more than 4%..." heißen.)
