What is the difference in "development OF/ IN"?

actually, I'm not sure if my examples are correct. I'd be grateful if you can provide better examples.

Yes, we cannot judge function words like prepositions when the structures as a whole are unnatural. When you need examples, I suggest that you search the internet. However, these will serve: The development of the plan needs more time.

Hi
The development of the country (plan) depends on the political leaders.
Here 'of' preposition denotes 'in relation to'
The want to see some development in the export sector (dancing techniques).( I think improvement sounds better in your second sentence,)
Here 'in' preposition denotes 'location' ,that is, where is development required.
