Projected drawing by Edward (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

planned

'projected' is the definition.
('plan' can be a synonym of 'project')

'drawing by edward' is the wordplay.
'drawing' becomes 'plan' (plan is a kind of drawing).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'edward' becomes 'ned' ().
'plan'+'ned'='PLANNED'

(Other definitions for planned that I've seen before include "-- 9 dn; -- obsolescence" , "Arranged in advance" , "Devised" , "Prepared carefully in advance" , "Thought through in advance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
