OOC: Your problem is you are taking too much to heart the comments of a small band of WA forum players in the mistaken belief that they are trying to help you write a better proposal. They are not. They don't want you to write a proposal at all. So even if you do completely start over, you will likely encounter approximately the same volume and intensity of suggestions that you just give up.
How about making a forceful argument in favour of your proposal instead of merely seeking approval? What is it you actually want to write a proposal about - and why?
