reach out

'make' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'an extensive move to get in touch' is the wordplay.
'an extensive move' becomes 'out' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'get in touch' becomes 'reach' (I've seen this before).
'out' put after 'reach' is 'REACH OUT'.
