方針

Meaning
進む方向や基本的な考え方
Explanation
「方針」refers to the direction to proceed or a basic way of thinking. 「数値で表された目標」(a goal expressed in numbers) and 「細かい作業手順」(detailed work procedures) are concrete content and differ in level of abstraction from 「方針」which indicates a broad direction. 「日程」is a word about time and is a different thing.
Original Japanese explanation

「方針」は進む方向や基本的な考え方を指します。「数値で表された目標」や「細かい作業手順」は具体的な内容で、大きな方向性を示す「方針」とは抽象度が異なります。「日程」は時間に関する語で別物です。
