筹划 (chóu huà): to plan and prepare

To give Mom a surprise, Dad and I secretly planned a birthday party and even invited all our relatives.

The company is planning to open its first overseas branch in Shanghai next year, and the marketing department has already done a detailed survey.

They have been planning this trip for half a year, and from choosing the destination to booking the hotel, every step was considered carefully.

After several months of planning, the community finally successfully held a charity sale and raised 50,000 yuan for children in poverty.
