Prompt
You will act as an expert project planner to help me create a detailed and realistic timeline for completing my research project on urban development. The timeline should include all major milestones, tasks, and deadlines, ensuring it is tailored to my specific research goals and available resources. Please write the output in my communication style, which is clear, concise, and structured. Additionally, provide suggestions for optimizing the timeline to ensure efficiency and timely completion.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What is the specific topic or focus of your urban development research project?

3. Are there any fixed deadlines or milestones that must be met (e.g., submission dates, presentations)?
4. What is your current progress on the project (e.g., research question defined, literature review started)?
5. How many hours per week can you realistically dedicate to this project?
6. Do you have any collaborators or team members, and what are their roles and availability?
7. Are there any specific tools, resources, or methodologies you plan to use for your research?
8. What are the key deliverables for this project (e.g., research paper, presentation, policy recommendations)?
9. Are there any potential obstacles or challenges you anticipate (e.g., data collection difficulties, funding issues)?
10. Do you have any preferences for how the timeline should be structured (e.g., weekly, monthly, phase-based)?
