on track
Proceeding as planned
On track means proceeding as planned or expected, making satisfactory progress toward a goal.
The metaphor comes from trains following their rails: The project is on track for completion in June.
To get back on track is to resume proper progress after a disruption: After the delays, we're finally back on track.
