green-lights
Gives the go-ahead
Green-lights means to approve or authorize a project to proceed.
The term comes from traffic signals, where green means go.
In business and entertainment, getting the green light means receiving official permission to move forward: The studio green-lights only a handful of scripts each year.
Management finally green-lighted the expansion.
