English term or phrase: drawing up the British plan

Other countries have successfully implemented welfare-to-work programmes. Few have done so in such daunting circumstances. America’s Clinton-era reforms were enacted at a time of falling unemployment. Australia, which ministers visited when drawing up the British plan, also faced a less dire economic outlook when it began serious reforms in 2004. Sweden delivered changes in a harsher climate soon after the 2008 recession, but many of the resulting jobs were sponsored by local authorities—not what Britain’s Conservative-led coalition has in mind.

Explanation:
Фраза – наглядный пример синтаксических различий между русским и английским языками, когда буквальный перевод чреват нарушением логической структуры предложения. Поскольку материал опубликован в таком уважаемом издании, как "Экономист" (а это образец грамотного английского языка), структура фразы в переводе требует некоторой трансформации по сравнению с оригиналом.

Соответственно, перевод:

Австралия, которую члены правительства Великобритании посетили при работе над собственным планом, приступила к серьезным реформам в 2004 году, когда перспективы австралийской экономики также выглядели не столь мрачными.
