Catalan term or phrase: el desenvolupament possibilista, ordenat i harmònic
...es pretén promoure el desenvolupament possibilista, ordenat i harmònic dels serveis socials d’atenció domiciliària, que ha de permetre l’increment de la capacitat prestadora dels ens locals i l’estructuració d’un espai tècnic que afavoreixi la millora conjunta i concertada per tal d’avançar cap a l’equitat en les prestacions socials ....

It's 'possibilista' that's the problem.

See "posibilista" in the PDF below.

promote harmonic and ordered development


Explanation:
"....promote harmonic and ordered development, exploring as many avenues as possible within the field of social services to the householder".

I think it just implies that alternative solutions will be mused on.
