PPDD, Preliminary Project Design Description


Explanation:
Giorgio's answer is the correct italian version of the abbreviation! However, you have asked for the English equivalent, and that is Preliminary Project Design Description, you can easily use the same abbreviation, as that matches the italian one ;)
