feasible

The plan is ambitious, but with enough resources it is definitely feasible.
The word is formed from the verb "machen" (to make/do) and the ending "-bar" (-able). The ending "-bar" means "can be done" and is attached to many verbs to form adjectives (e.g., essbar, lesbar, trinkbar).

This adjective is used very often in discussions about plans, projects, goals, and work. It has a pragmatic and solution-oriented character.

possible
'möglich' and 'machbar' can both express that something can be done or achieved. 'möglich' is more general and can also simply mean that something is allowed, conceivable, or not ruled out. 'machbar' puts more emphasis on the practical side: you have enough time, money, energy, or resources to actually manage it. With plans, tasks, and appointments, 'machbar' often sounds more concrete. For general possibilities, 'möglich' is more natural.
