Now that you have direction about your project, you need to start organizing how you will cover the content of the project. The best way to do this is to create an outline. Submit an initial outline with just the overarching topics with Roman numerals (I. II. III., etc.), but eventually you will need to flesh out each of these topics with actual objectives and specifics. A final outline should be a full outline with Roman numerals as well as sub-content indicated (i.e. I. a., i., ii., b., i., ii., II. a., i., ii., b., i., ii., III. a., b., etc.).
