project approval

Sanctioned initiative clearance

Project approval is the formal authorization to proceed with a proposed plan or initiative.

In business and government, project approval typically comes after a proposal has been reviewed for feasibility, budget, and alignment with organizational goals: We're waiting on project approval before we can hire contractors.

The term implies a gatekeeper—someone with authority to greenlight or reject: The board gave project approval last Tuesday.
