German term or phrase: mit unterschiedlichem Verdichtungsgrad der Planungen

Zum anderen muss die Projektplanung für ein Einzelprojekt auf verschiedene Zielgruppen mit unterschiedlichem Verdichtungsgrad der Planungen zugeschnitten sein.

It all makes sense until I get to * mit unterschiedlichem Verdichtungsgrad der Planungen*. Does it simply mean that projects for some target groups require a greater amount of planning than others? Would anyone care to explain this to me? Many thanks.

Explanation:
I think this is what they are after here: Some target groups require a greater degree of detailing than others.

For "Verdichtungsgrad", I could have thought of degree (urban) planning density if it weren't for the IT context.

oops... \"I could have thought of degree *of* (urban) planning density...\"

Or, from a different angle: Some readerships/target groups require a more in-depth (project) planning presentation.
