How should the project manager develop the project management plan to ensure that the project continually delivers the expected benefits?

Clarifying project benefits with the sponsor is a crucial initial step for defining what the benefits are, but it does not detail *how* the project plan will ensure their continuous delivery.

To ensure a project continually delivers expected benefits, the project management plan must establish a clear connection between project outputs and desired outcomes. By identifying the goal of each work product, the project manager ensures that every component built or task completed directly contributes to a larger objective or benefit, helping to maintain focus and validate value delivery throughout the project lifecycle.
