    How it works

    "Gemäß" is a preposition that typically takes the dative case. In this phrase, "dem Plan" is the dative form of "der Plan" (the plan). It indicates conformity or accordance with something. While "gemäß" can also precede the noun phrase, placing it after (e.g., "dem Plan gemäß") is also grammatically correct and sometimes preferred in formal contexts. This structure is common for expressing adherence to rules, agreements, or schedules.
