Dear all:
What is the difference between a mid-term goal, a middle-term goal, and
a medium-term goal? And between a mid-term vision, a middle-term vision,
and a medium-term vision? And between a mid-term plan, a middle-term
plan, and a medium-term plan?
Thank you in advance,
Jaakov.

There is no difference at all in general English. (You may find
some people, e.g. accountants or town planners, give these
distinct meanings in their professional jargon.)

Neither "middle" nor "medium" is used in those settings.

Yes, but there wouldn't be a "mid-term goal" or a "mid-term plan"
using "mid-term" to mean the test in the middle of the school term.

Businesses who have
long term goals and
short term goals
might also have
medium term goals.
The lengths of time involved
would be of their own
definition.
