Provision of services setting up exhibitions
In a consultation document about providing services for setting up exhibitions. The letters stand for "APS : avant-projet sommaire". the client says that this is an: "étape classique dans le déroulement d’une mission de maîtrise d’oeuvre de scénographie pour réaliser une exposition permanente ou temporaire." I can translate the phrase, but is there an equivalent English abbreviation? Any help gratefully received.

exhibition concept development
The exhibition concept development phase shall result in a set of documents that identify the exhibition’s main message, themes, and learning goals and include a 3-D model of the physical concept, a floor plan, and some early elevations. These documents will provide the basis for fundraising by the Advancement office. A PowerPoint presentation on the exhibition concept for use by Advancement should be developed if necessary

Preliminary design
APS is one of a long string of 'trigrammes' referring to different stages in construction projects (AVP, APO, EXE, PRO, DCE etc.) . They obviously apply it to exhibition design too.
The English equivalent is 'preliminary design'. Although it can be abbreviated ...
"The purpose of the PRELIMINARY DESIGN—which may also be called the Master Plan or the Site Plan, or just “THE PRELIM”—is to assign forms and finishes to the functions that were organized in the Schematic Design. Those quick bubbles and blobs evolve into thoughtfully considered shapes, and the look and feel of the landscape come into focus.
In the Preliminary Design (which we call “PD” in our workflow) ..." ,
since we do not have that list of stages, or at least have not boiled them down to a consistent set of 3-letter abbreviations, the abbreviation is not exactly standard ... or necessarily immediately understood.
