C Correct answer
Explanation

Adumbrate means to outline, sketch, or foreshadow something broadly. The context mentions details still needing to be 'hammered out,' which confirms that only an 'outlined' plan was provided. 'Devised' would mean fully creating the plan, while 'detailed' contradicts the unfinished nature mentioned.
