Crossword Genius

Mature and complex schedule (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agenda

'schedule' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'mature and complex' is the wordplay.
'mature' becomes 'age' (synonyms).
'complex' is an anagram indicator.
'and' anagrammed gives 'nda'.
'age'+'nda'='AGENDA'

(Other definitions for agenda that I've seen before include "Meet to discuss this" , "Scheme" , "Plan for meeting" , "Schedule of items for meeting" , "List of items for discussion at a meeting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
