What's a good phrase for a "collection of the places someone wants to visit"?
Solution 1:
Itinerary:
- a detailed plan for a journey, especially a list of places to visit; plan of travel.
Dictionary.com
An itinerary is your travel plan — where you will go and when you will be there.
If you make plans to fly to Paris from Beijing or take a train to Chicago from Mexico City, you will need an itinerary. That means you will have a plan that displays how you will get from point to point in your travels and when you will be at each point. This word comes from the Middle English itinerarius and is defined as being "about a journey." Itineraries can be really useful because if you give your mother yours, she will always know where you are!

Solution 2:
Worth noting is the phrase bucket list -- while it isn't quite the same as what you're asking, being a list of actions one wishes to perform rather than a list of places one wishes to see, people often include "go to ______" or "do _____ at _____" on their bucket lists. However, it's a very personal thing -- if it's meant to be "a collection of places someone wants to visit [so they can finish their project on time]", this doesn't fit. If you're looking for "a list of places someone wants to go [for fun]", then this fits very well.
Merriam-Webster defines it as:
a list of things that one has not done before but wants to do before dying
With its origin and etymology given as
from the phrase kick the bucket (to die)
