It may sound confusing but… consider the sequence of aims required in securing external funding for a given project. First you will be tightly focussed on just winning the funds. This will of course in turn involve developing, describing and articulating your concept to the given funder, but only in those practical areas necessary and sufficient to win the funding. At this stage you do not need to elaborate the project description beyond this and must clearly represent it in the “fundabilty context” of the funder.
Once funding is secured, now you can throw yourself into the detail and a more internal mindset
