Business/Commerce (general)
Spanish term or phrase: ecuador (de un plan)
2004 supone el ecuador del Plan Estratégico de XXX, con el que optamos por el crecimiento orgánico diseñando un ambicioso plan de expansión que nos permitiera posicionarnos como una empresa de sólida implantación nacional

I know 'ecuador' is translated as 'equator', but that won't do here.

What is the idea?
