uçuk hedefler
A stretch target is a target that is so big and bold that it seems almost impossible to achieve to those who set it. The stretch target approach is sharply different from the classic approaches where targets are set only if there is a strong likelihood that the target can be achieved and there is a specific method, which shows how to reach it.
Buradaki tanıma göre uçuk hedefler denilebilir

aşmış or aşılmış hedefler would cause ambiguity, I think

Note from asker:
| The paper I'm translating is about this marketing strategy that is supposed to be highly effective in increasing production. I cannot use something like 'ulaşılması zor' or 'ütopik', because it would have a negative connotation then. I don't know about 'uçuk' either. I thought to translate it as 'aşılmış hedefler'. What do you think? |
Peer comment(s):

H.Yüksel
: I think "uçuk" is quite appropriate in the sense that it does not imply any negativity but it's more like a simple adjective. What we need is something that will be the name of this particular strategy. As for "aşılmış" ... Shouldn't it be "aşmış"?

You are suggesting "aşmış hedef" but this would cause ambiguity, wouldn't it?
