Word structure with '-bar'

This idea sounds good, but is it also technically feasible?

realisierbar vs möglich
possible
'möglich' and 'realisierbar' can both mean that something can be put into practice. 'möglich' is broader and fits almost any kind of possibility. 'realisierbar' sounds more concrete and somewhat more formal. It is often used with plans, projects, ideas, or goals when asking whether they can really be realized. If it is only about a simple possibility, 'möglich' is more natural. If it is about implementation, 'realisierbar' is more precise.
