concept / plan
'das Konzept' and 'das Gesamtkonzept' both describe an idea or plan for an undertaking. 'das Konzept' can be small or large and can also refer to just one part. 'das Gesamtkonzept' emphasizes that all parts are seen together and form a coherent whole. Learners may confuse the words because they sound very similar. If you simply mean a plan or an idea, 'Konzept' is enough. If you specifically mean the plan for everything together, 'Gesamtkonzept' is more precise.
