How it's used
Borrowed from Japanese business terminology, this term is primarily used in professional or office settings in Hong Kong. It carries a more formal and strategic nuance than the everyday word 計劃. While 計劃 can refer to personal intentions or simple arrangements, 企劃 specifically implies a structured, often commercial or creative project proposal.

Common mistake
Avoid using this word for personal plans like going to the movies or meeting a friend, as it sounds overly corporate and unnatural in casual social contexts.
