Movement by Planned Route This would be an alternative to automated movement. It would allow the planned route to be established by selecting a set of waypoints along the desired route. The organization to follow this route could be established by selection the HQ of the unit, designating a planned route and then let the computer perform that operation. At a minimum you would have a start point and an end point (destination). To get better control over the route you also should be able to set intervening points along the way, at say road intersections and so on.

Waypoints/movement plan fits nicely. I could see the benefit to settings waypoints in order for the formation to reform and to limit the mischief that auto-routing might do.

Considering the communications of the era, it would seem reasonable that once a route was planned and the formation begins its movement, that changes to the plan route would necessitate a delay if interrupted by the player. One could impose a movement penalty if the player changes the route of the formation before all the units in the formation reach the waypoint/final destination.
