target date
Scheduled completion point
A target date is a planned or intended deadline for completing something: We've set a target date of June 1st for the product launch.
Unlike a firm deadline, a target date implies aspiration—something to aim for rather than a hard constraint.
The term appears frequently in project management, financial planning, and goal-setting contexts.
A target date fund automatically adjusts its investment mix as it approaches a specified retirement year.
