The draft bill for the revision of the Seventh Development Plan is set to be submitted to the parliament in the coming weeks. It seems that the post-war conditions have prompted the government to amend and redraft certain aspects. During the formulation of the plan, many economists warned about the gap between the established goals and the actual capacities of the economy. Now, with the passage of time and changes in the country's economic and political conditions, the limitations of financial resources and the difficulties in achieving a significant portion of the plan's provisions have become more apparent; to the extent that the government is also seeking to revise this document. This decision raises an important question for policymakers and experts: On what basis should the development plan be revised? Is the issue merely about adjusting goals that seem unattainable, or should there also be a reconsideration of the logic of goal-setting, prioritization, and the implementation mechanisms of the plan? Which goals and provisions should still be maintained, which need adjustment and redefinition, and which parts of the plan should be discarded?
