The short answer
A project proposal is uma proposta de projeto. Escopo means scope; entregável means deliverable; etapa is a stage; and prazo is a deadline or timeframe. Use these words as headings so the client can scan what is included.
Name the parts of a project proposal
Include the client's stated goal near the top. Then describe the work in concrete terms rather than relying on a vague promise such as melhorar a presença online.
A proposta inclui três etapas e dois entregáveis principais.
The proposal includes three stages and two main deliverables.
O escopo está descrito na primeira página.
The scope is described on the first page.
Separate included work from extra requests
Está incluído means ‘is included,’ and fica fora do escopo means ‘is outside the scope.’ Describe revisions, meetings, and extra rounds in plain language so both sides understand what the price covers.
If a request changes the work, say that it may affect the timeline or cost and offer to outline the change before moving ahead.
Duas rodadas de revisão estão incluídas.
Two rounds of revisions are included.
A tradução do material fica fora do escopo desta proposta.
Translating the material is outside the scope of this proposal.
Invite questions and confirm the next step
Ask whether any part needs clarification: Algum ponto da proposta precisa de mais detalhes? You can offer a short call to review a specific item with the client.
Confirm whether the client wants to approve, request a change, or discuss the proposal further. Write down any revised scope and timeline before starting the work.
Você gostaria de revisar alguma etapa comigo?
Would you like to review any stage with me?
Depois da aprovação, posso começar na segunda-feira.
After approval, I can start on Monday.
Put it into practice
Use a written proposal to name the scope, deliverables, revisions, timeline, and the client's next step.
