proposed solution
An idea or plan that is put forward as a possible solution to a problem or task. It is a proposal that has not yet been accepted as the final solution.
In der Besprechung sammelten wir verschiedene Lösungsvorschläge, um die Effizienz zu steigern.
In the meeting, we collected various proposed solutions to increase efficiency.
The word consists of 'Lösung' (solution), the linking -s, and 'Vorschlag' (proposal/suggestion). The compound makes clear that it is not a final, agreed-upon solution, but an idea that is up for discussion.
Jeder Mitarbeiter kann einen Lösungsvorschlag einreichen.
Every employee can submit a proposed solution.
This noun is often combined with verbs that describe a process. Typical phrases are: 'einen Lösungsvorschlag machen/unterbreiten' (to make/put forward a proposed solution), 'Lösungsvorschläge sammeln/erarbeiten' (to collect/develop proposed solutions), and 'einen Lösungsvorschlag prüfen/bewerten' (to review/evaluate a proposed solution).
Das Team erarbeitet gerade verschiedene Lösungsvorschläge.
The team is currently developing various proposed solutions.
'Lösungsvorschlag' (proposed solution) is a very typical word in professional contexts, in meetings, in project management, and in technical discussions. It signals a constructive but still open approach to a problem.
