Plan; stick out (7)
I believe the answer is:
project
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'plan' is the first definition.
(projecting is a kind of planning)
'stick out' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for project that I've seen before include "Enterprise, undertaking" , "Throw out, school work" , "low-cost housing" , "Venture" , "discharge" .)
