Scheme
A scheme is a grandiose umbrella for cunning strategies that masquerade as noble pursuits, yet so self-serving that even its architects forget its true purpose. Celebrated in theory as a means to change the world, in practice it often serves as a sacrificial pawn to protect someone's position. It dances brilliantly on the stage called the boardroom, only to be shelved indefinitely in the execution phase. Ironically, it's nothing more than an elegant excuse-generating mechanism designed to dodge accountability rather than produce results.
