"Working Plan" in PhD application I am currently writing my "research proposal" for my PhD in Statistics application, basically I am asked to provide:


Project description (activities, methodologies, expected results).
State of the Art.
Objectives.
References.
Working program.


I am not sure what a "working program" really is given that in practice I've described every aspect regarding my future research in the previous items.
I've contacted the PhD office but I didn't received an answer, I've contacted my advisor and he was as clueless as myself.

Hope you guys could shed some light over this.

Thanks in advance.

It signals to the committee that you are realistic and aware of the scope and practicalities of your project. It could look something like this:
