This is a typical Italian expression referring to a "table" or a "chart" or a "list of items", which the client claims translates as "framework" ?!
Any suggestions are more than welcome!

scheme, table
as per garzanti - it all depends whether it is a scheme, chart, a flow chart, a table (the specific context)

"Framework" is simply wrong. S/he might be thinking of "frame," but I wouldn't use that either.
The right word depends hugely upon what the graphic layout of the page or document is. In a book or other printed material, it'd be a box or sidebar. You can get away with that on a webpage as well, but then I'd probably tend to use something like "highlighted area."

Ah, ivanamdb is right about "table" - might be that, IF it's a table (that is, data presented in some tabular way, with rows and columns). If it isn't, table doesn't work. I'd avoid scheme altogether. It could be a "chart," but that also implies a tabular format. Context here is all!
