fonds de plan
In a budget table for an environmental plan: "réalisation des fonds de plan, analyse thématique préliminaire". Perhaps "plan holdings"?? I suspect it's referring to what things will be covered by the plan (not funding). Any confirmation or correction appreciated. TIA.

base maps
"Fond de plan" is normally a base map which is used afterwards for adding various information. This would seem to tally because they mùention "analyse thématique" afterwards so the data on each "theme" studied would be displayed on the base map.
I may be completely wrong but don't think so!

the plan framework / outline / scope
I have a bit of a different take than Graham. I think they are talking about the foundations of a plan rather than a map.

: While it seems plausible at first sight, I didn't see a single hit for un/des fond(s) de plan which didn't have Graham's meaning. Altho' I confess I didn't actually check every single last one of 'em :-) //True, web hits indicate "usage" not "correctness"

Thanks for the comments, Charlie. Although I am always hesitant to use the number of Google hits as definitive confirmation because so much can depend on context. // Excellent way to describe it - usage vs. correctness!

While I don't personally recall ever seeing "fond de CARTE", it is obvious that it is the same as "fond de plan", which I have seen regularly, and is defined as:
"2 [...] un 'fond de carte' est une base, mais limitée à la représentation des configurations ou des contours des mailles, et que l'on garnit d'informations. Une couleur ou 'teinte de fond' peut être à la fois "lointaine" et être "base" d'une carte; il arrive souvent, néanmoins, qu'elle serve surtout à faire plus joli, ou plus lisible, et n'ajoute rien au fond du sujet. Course de fond, ski de fond: exercises de longue durée, qui n'ont rien de vraiement fondamental, mais peuvent nécessiter, commes les courses de vitesse d'ailleurs, un entraînement de fond (sens 3); c'est le fond qui donne la forme ..."
[Les Mots de la Géographie, dictionnaire critique, Roger Brunet]
"base map - a map of any kind on which additional information may be plotted for specific purposes"
