The plan is the written explanation of goals, objectives, targets and means to achieve it.

The plan is a type of action consciously wanted.

The project concept always indicates the realization of activity in the future.

A project is a set of means implemented in a coordinated way in order to achieve an economic goal set beforehand,

A project can be defined as a set of activities consuming resources to achieve the objective: to satisfy the beneficiary of the project.

Any operation of production is a priori a project. She can stay single (construction of a building or a ship or transfer of a shop in a new location ...).

A project is broken down into tasks (or activities or steps) that are linked by constraints.
