The "plan" can focus on a team, unit, department division, etc., at the student's place of employment, or outside organization if an employer is not relevant. Reading the first two chapters in the text, Practicing Organization Development, 4 edition; by William J. Rothwell, Jacqueline M. Stavros, Roland L. Sullivan, and chapter one in the Jeff Haldeman text first edition will help to set the stage for better understanding this project. In essence, you will because OD consultants within your organization and work on a real-life OD issue; some of you may already occupy an OD position.
