Rather than deciding the plan in haste, I would recommend that you put 
some more thought into deciding the plan for your proposal. Take some 
time to reflect on the different parts required for the project, 
potential things that might interfere with the project etc. This would 
help you come up with a more refined plan.

This might need some deeper understanding of the project that you would 
be working on. Do feel to ask us in case you face any issues with this.

Also, you could use Taylor's suggestion as a possible starting point for
the plan:

Hope this helps,
