He's like some junior executive who comes up with a brilliant plan to take over the company.

He saw far too many ways in which her brilliant plan was going to make everything worse, not better.

On the first day even his mistakes had to look like part of a brilliant plan.

Well a good start would be to tell the electorate what this brilliant secret plan is.

Did you see the way they tried to steal the glory from my brilliant plan?

"Hardly a brilliant plan, but it's the best I can come up with under the circumstances."

All they had to do was carry out his brilliant plan.

The most brilliant plans for the future take shape in my head.

Running off into the woods doesn't seem like a brilliant plan.
