design phase
Conceptual development period
Design phase is the stage in a project where plans, specifications, and blueprints are created before actual construction or implementation begins.
In software development, it follows requirements gathering and precedes coding: We're still in the design phase, so no code has been written yet.
In architecture and engineering, the design phase produces detailed drawings and material specifications that guide construction.
