realization

'Die Verwirklichung' (the realization) comes from the verb 'verwirklichen' (to realize, to make real). This verb contains the adjective 'wirklich' (real). So to realize something means to make it 'wirklich' (real) or 'wahr' (true).
Sie arbeitet hart, um ihre beruflichen Ziele zu verwirklichen.
She works hard to realize her professional goals.
This noun is almost always used in connection with positive, desirable things. Typical combinations are 'die Verwirklichung eines Traums' (the realization of a dream), 'eines Plans' (of a plan), 'eines Ziels' (of a goal), or 'einer Idee' (of an idea).
Die Verwirklichung dieses Projekts erfordert viel Geld und Zeit.
The realization of this project requires a lot of money and time.
Similar to other nouns ending in '-ung', 'Verwirklichung' (realization) is often combined with a genitive object that describes what is being realized. This structure is very common in written language.
Wir stehen kurz vor der Verwirklichung unseres Plans.
We are close to the realization of our plan.
implementation / conversion
'die Umsetzung' and 'die Verwirklichung' are closely related because both mean that something planned or desired is actually done. 'Umsetzung' often sounds objective and practical, for example with plans, ideas, or projects. 'Verwirklichung' is especially suitable when talking about wishes, goals, or dreams. It sounds more personal and emphasizes that something long desired is coming true. For a work plan, 'Umsetzung' is usually more natural; for a dream, 'Verwirklichung' is more likely.
Meine Freundin spart für die Verwirklichung ihres Traums von einer langen Reise.
My friend is saving for the realization of her dream of taking a long trip.
Vor der Umsetzung des Plans sprechen wir noch einmal mit allen Beteiligten.
Before implementing the plan, we will talk once more with everyone involved.
