This question assesses the European Commission's ability to deliver on its key policy objectives and promises. I have for now taken these from the Political Guidelines published by Ursula von der Leyen. Including only goals it has explicitly committed to. Though I hope to add more political goals later.
Note: As specific timelines are not provided for all goals, assume the target completion date is the end of the current EC mandate unless otherwise stated.
"Every year" will mean every FULL year the commission is in office. 2024 and 2029 will not count for this.
How fitting, all the goals and promises are defined in terms of expanding the bureaucracy rather than real world outcomes.
While I agree it would be good to have some outcome goals as well, I also think it makes sense: The Commission is not a dictator that can just do things; it can only promise to engage with the other institutions in a way. I have also cut out all things that I thought would be difficult to measure, such as the ambitions to cut housing costs, win the Ukraine war, reducing administrative burdens, etc. focussing only on the direct things the Commission can do for now. I will add more outcome based goals once the priorities of the new EC have been published.
If you are curious to hear what VDL has as goals in her own words, I recommend the political guidelines she put out; they are pretty readable: https://commission.europa.eu/document/download/063d44e9-04ed-4033-acf9-639ecb187e87_en?filename=political-guidelines-next-commission_en.pdf
