pur avendo di fatto suggerito/proposto il programma/l'idea.


Explanation:
Tentative proposal, visto che non hai fornito maggior contesto, nè chiarito la sequenza delle porzioni di testo (vedi mia richiesta nello spazio discussion).

Da come la leggo io la madre, che in prima istanza aveva suggerito un'idea, vedendo che quelle della figlia prendevano una piega diversa, non è più d'accordo con lei.

Ovviamente, la madre (di lei) non era d'accordo, pur avendo di fatto proposto/suggerito il programma/l'idea.
