Forward getting goal, according to plan (2,6)
I believe the answer is:
on target
'according to plan' is the definition.
'forward getting goal' is the wordplay.
'forward' becomes 'on'.
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'goal' becomes 'target' (target is a kind of goal**).
'on'+'target'='ON TARGET'
(Other definitions for on target that I've seen before include "Reaching the aim point" , "Up to the planned level" , "Heading in the right direction" , "Where bull may be" , "Keeping to a course" .)
