switching between two optional texts
http://www.lyx.org/help/IfThen/ifthen.php
or with different texts this may work:
write in preamble:
\newcommand\toPrint{milestone1}
or 2, 3, ... whatever you want to print
in the text start it with ert (tex -red)
\ifthenelse{\equal{\toPrint}{milestone1}}{% all in red
...
...the text for milestone 1 ... not in red (tex)
...
}{}% all in red (tex)
\ifthenelse{\equal{\toPrint}{milestone2}}{%
...
...the text for milestone 2 ...
...
}{}
and so on
