Hello again!

I was wondering about the collocation for the word propose in this sentence:

We have achieved/met/accomplished/proved what we proposed.

I guess I prefer the first one.
The context is a scientific study.
Thank you!
I have no strong preference here, Julieta. I'm sure you're aware that "proving something" has a meaning that "achieving something" doesn't. If you proved something that had been disputed, then I think "proved" is more precise than the other choices.
