* Grounded in time
• Positively phrased

* Be a stretch
* Set in the present
What in the world do they mean by that? Flexibility??
Please, help.

: "Stavte pered soboy zadachy y dobyvaytes ikh vypolnenyya": Na optimalnom, no ne na kriticheskom predele. I remember a headteacher asking me if my son felt he was stretched enough in his maths class. Cf also Executive Stretch Programs popular in Britain.

: Это уже перебор. К тому же не вяжется со смыслом приведенного отрывка. Каким образом работа "на пределе", т.е. изматывающая, тяжелая. поможет вам осуществить ближние или дальние цели?

мыслите масштабно
Мне кажется, по смыслу это ближе всего к оригиналу.
По правде сказать, мне впервые встречается этот оборот.
Зато встречалось выражению "stretch goals" (см.ниже).
"Stretch goals are used not to drive short-term action, but to inspire longer term innovation processes aimed at making desirable outcomes, that are currently impossible, achievable at some future time. .. So what is a stretch goal? The classic example is President Kennedy’s 1962 announcement that the U.S. would “put a man on the moon by the end of this decade and return him safely to the Earth.”
"A stretch goal is an ambitious goal that you don’t know how to reach. It is something you have not done before and that you do not know how you are going to achieve. It forces you to discard comfortable solutions and adopt new solutions. A stretch goal communicates that maintaining the status quo is not an option—it cannot be met by tweaking the existing system."

требовать настоящих усилий
Или, "определенных (или дополнительных, или значительных) усилий".
Вообще, различные варианты возможны. Например:
- не должны быть слишком легкими
- требовать напряжения ваших способностей (или сил)
- требовать настойчивости в их достижении

включать в себя возможность для развития/подразумевать возможность развития
Думаю, здесь можно сказать, что цели должны подразумевать в себе возможность развития; достигая цели, человек/компания не должен оставаться на том же уровне.

вести к новым достижениям
One must always improve upon the improved:)
Below is an example I have googled.
Students choose a subject and obtain approval by their faculty advisory committee. Topics can be on an extremely wide range of subjects. Main requirement – must be a “stretch” for the student; must be “stretching” beyond previous achievement levels.

выкладывайтесь
at a full stretch - working to the utmost of one's powers (The Oxford Paperback Dictionary)
Ну а просто "a stretch" значит всё же - напрягаться, выкладываться.
