English translation:small-scale plans

Explanation:
If you have the full document, it will be apparent from the content of the relevant section what this heading means. If you do not, then the safest option is to translate it as it stands: "plan reductions"

In addition, building managers are sent updated small-scale plans of the facilities they oversee.
