in the scheme of things
in a general view of the situation. She just got here and hasn't figured out where she belongs in the scheme of things.
Usage notes: often used with the adjectives grand, larger, or overall, usually to suggest that something is not very important: A two-week delay will not matter in the overall scheme of things.

FYI idiomatic use of 'in the scheme of things'
the scheme of things = the way things are organised or happen in a particular situation, or the way someone wants them to be organised. eg I was disappointed not to get the job, but it's not that important in the great/grand scheme of things (= when all things are considered). (Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary)
This is the common idiomatic use of 'in the grand scheme of things', but here the writer simply means to say 'the overall picture''the great master plan'.
