Change Resistance Bingo: print out the card, hand it out during a meeting where the plan is discussed. When you hear a phrase that resembles a phrase on the card, tick the box. If you do not like the plan, use one or more of the phrases on the card. In that way you can both slow down the plan and win the Change Resistance Bingo.
