Programme
In its widest sense, the term 'programme' refers to a series of interrelated projects that may be carried out repeatedly or continuously in order to support an ongoing process. For more information see: Project v programme.
However, in the construction industry, the term 'programme' typically refers to the sequence in which a series of tasks must be carried out so that a project (or part of a project) can be completed.
