French term or phrase: bouger sur un horizon de deux ans

De message de Président :

"La volonté de vouloir évoluer, j'avais discuté avec X pour lui dire que j'ai souhaité bouger sur un horizon de deux ans maximum".

Maximum timeframe of two years?
Struggling mostly with "bouger" - any suggestions?

TIA

"move on" within two years

Explanation:
Perhaps refering to their career development.

With the emphasis perhaps on progression (moving on up) rather than leaving!

So they are "getting going", so to speak (I may be on the wrong track again!!)

Or maybe, as mimi suggests, it is about leaving!

Whilst I still think the term "move on" fits well, I must admit (after reading some good points and suggestions) to being undecided as to the implied meaning!

make a move within the next two years

Explanation:
Natural way of speaking whether referring to job change or 'moving on' a project, in other words getting it going. I don't think this is about retiring, but without more context it is not easy to say.
