The expression is mostly used to describe bargaining proposals that are so proposterous that the other party is unlikely to even consider with any degree of seriousness. In other words, the opening proposal in the process fails to even open the process.

لا تحظى بتأييد كاف
if we are talking about a plan that has no hope of working then
محكوم عليها بالفشل
(Destined to fail) is better, on the other hand, if what is meant is that the plan does not have enough support, which is different from saying that the plan will fail once implemented, then the proper Arabic would be
لا تحظى بتأييد كاف
محكوم عليها بالفشل
