German term

Planungsgrößen

German to English Other Education / Pedagogy
Translating a document discussing funding for a university. Before this paragraph, there is a table which outlines the investments and costs for a number of years. Then we get these sentences:

-------
Die erforderlichen Mittel sind Planungsgrößen. Sie dienen der Sicherstellung eines ausreichenden Finanzierungsrahmens und sind maßgebliche Orientierungsgrößen für den von der Präsidentin und vom Präsidenten der Universität vorzulegenden Businessplan.
---------

Is it correct to say "planning quantities" or are we talking about "planning variables" or even "planned variables" here? Maybe it's something quite different. I am hoping that suitable answers for Planungsgrößen will also give me a better idea as to how to phrase Orientierungsgrößen. Many thanks!

planning parameters

And for O... I would use target parameters (the Presidents should be close to the latter)

agree Lori Dendy-Molz : academics are very fond of 'parameters' in general -- 'planning parameters' is an oft-used phrase when discussing funding
