"Elaborate on the DPR (detailed project plan) in more detail." Wouldn't add "in more detail". "Elaborate on" suggests to work something out in more detail?

Yes, "in more detail" seems redundant here.

I'm a Ukrainian native speaker. I would know if your Russian translation is 100% accurate.

Hi ostap77,

Much as I should like to meet your request I couldn’t do that.
I’m not a God; I’m only your humble servant. I don’t know Russian perfectly so probably in my post above are a few errors.

I figured that you know Russian so my only wish was to help you with the understanding of the usage of the “elaborate”.

Here is a link where in my humble opinion Russian is perfect.

«elaborate»

If this wounds your national feeling please, don’t read it.

I’m a fiery fan of your Jury Golubenko.

Regards,

V.
