realer Terminplan

English translation: a new, realistic schedule

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:ein realer Terminplan
English translation:a new, realistic schedule
Entered by: Veronika Neuhold

German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Wärmekraftwerk (Baustellenbericht)
German term or phrase: realer Terminplan
"Der Endkunde hat sich bei Firma x [...] beschwert, da der Fertigstellungstermin nicht gehalten wird.

Durch Firma x wurde die aktuelle Situation für die Baufreiheit I&C-Montage analysiert und ein **realer Terminplan** erstellt."

How is "realer Terminplan" to be understood?

Might this be a specific project term (see http://tgm.1hilfe.at/index.php?page=1376856180&f=1&i=1296974... ), or do you think they mean a "(more) realistic schedule" (since the first completion deadline was not achievable)?

Many thanks in advance for your valuable feedback.

realistic / feasible schedule
Explanation:
Für den Begriff "realer Terminplan" finden sich im Netz abgesehen von ProZ.com nur zwei ernstzunehmende Treffer (einer davon ist die von Dir zitierte Quelle). Daher gehe ich davon aus, dass hier ein auf Grundlage der festgestellten Situation hinsichtlich der Baufreiheit realistischer/machbarer Terminplan gemeint ist.

... und vielleicht mit dem von Richard vorgeschlagenen "new" verbinden: "a new, realistic/feasible schedule". Evtl. ginge auch noch "adjusted".

new schedule


Explanation:
You're right with "realistic", you might also say 'actual' or 'current', but I think the idea, if formulated in English originally would simply be: 'new'
