English Synonyms and Antonyms
scheme
Design refers to the adaptation of means to an end, the correspondence and coordination of parts, or of separate acts, to produce a result; intent and purpose overleap all particulars, and fasten on the end itself. Intention is simply the more familiar form of the legal and philosophical intent. Plan relates to details of form, structure, and action, in themselves; design considers these same details all as a means to an end. The plan of a campaign may be for a series of sharp attacks, with the design of thus surprising and overpowering the enemy. A man comes to a fixed intention to kill his enemy; he forms a plan to entrap him into his power, with the design of then compassing his death; as the law can not read the heart, it can only infer the intent from the evidences of design. Intent denotes a straining, stretching forth toward an object; purpose simply the placing it before oneself; hence, we speak of the purpose rather than the intent or intention of God. We hold that the marks of design in nature prove it the work of a great Designer. Intention contemplates the possibility of failure; purpose looks to assured success; intent or intention refers especially to the state of mind of the actor; purpose to the result of the action. Compare AIM; CAUSE; IDEA; MODEL.
Synonyms:
aim, design, device, end, end, final cause, intent, intention, object, plan, project, proposal, purposePreposition:
The design of defrauding; the design of a building; a design for a statue.

How to use scheme in a sentence?
That's a very ambitious target, but the implementation is lacking a good progress, and very contradictory policies are in place, just to give you one example, the building sector in United Kingdom is a real problem, yet just recently, the government scrapped its Green Homes scheme, a £ 1.5 billion( $ 2 billion) commitment to support home owners to improve the insulation in their homes, so this doesn't really make sense.
It doesn't worry me, in the overall scheme of things, I'm happy that it happened. It's given me a platform to use to better my people. All of that headache and the names I've been called is a small price to pay.
If someone is acting in good faith or someone does not believe that what they are doing actually is part of a scheme to defraud, then the correct verdict is a not guilty verdict.
Humans live best when each has a place to stand, when each knows where he belongs in the scheme of things and what he may achieve. Destroy the place and you destroy the person.
Attorney General Tommy Thomas:
Custodial sentences and criminal fines will be sought against the accused ... given the severity of the scheme to defraud and fraudulent misappropriation of billions in bond proceeds.
