    """Add a new cost schedule

    A cost schedule is a group of cost items which typically represent a
    cost plan or breakdown of the project. This may be used as an estimate,
    bid, or actual cost.

    Alternatively, a cost schedule may also represent a schedule of rates,
    which include cost items which capture unit rates for different elements
    or processes.

    As such, creating a cost schedule is necessary prior to creating and
    managing any cost items.

    :param name: The name of the cost schedule.
    :param predefined_type: The predefined type of the cost schedule, chosen
        from a valid type in the IFC documentation for
        IfcCostScheduleTypeEnum
    :return: The newly created IfcCostSchedule entity

    Example:

    .. code:: python

        schedule = ifcopenshell.api.cost.add_cost_schedule(model)
        # Now that we have a cost schedule, we may add cost items to it
        item = ifcopenshell.api.cost.add_cost_item(model, cost_schedule=schedule)
