for the introduction of or to introduce......

Dear all,

When should we use "for + noun + preposition", and when should we use "to infinitive" ?

examples: The Government prepared a proposal for the introduction of a .... scheme. / to introduce a ....scheme?

Thx.

In some cases like this you use might use "to infinitive", in other cases you might use "for", and in yet other cases you might use a different preposition. Sometimes there might be two or more options with more or less the same meaning, and sometimes the different choices might give different meanings. I don't think there are any "rules" that will magically tell you which is appropriate in any situation.
