designs
Schemes or blueprints
Designs serves as both noun and verb, unified by the idea of intentional planning.
A design is a plan or pattern: the design of the building, a floral design.
To design is to create such plans: She designs furniture.
The plural designs often implies schemes or intentions, sometimes sinister: He has designs on your job, She has designs on him.
By design means intentionally, as opposed to by accident.
