undertaking of a project set forth in a redevelopment plan adopted by the governing

displaced or to be displaced by the redevelopment of all or any part of one or more
redevelopment areas, or a low and moderate income housing project. The financial agreement shall include, but not be limited to, those provisions set

and the undertaking of a project by an urban renewal entity pursuant to that plan
