Here is what I am going to do:
In the manifest file of the plugin (.xml file) I consider the option for administrator group to choose the page(s) they want to check in the custom plugin, they have to input the title of the menuitem(s) which show that page(s), and the plugin will update those pages to be viewed by the custom template. In the production phase you may remove the menuitems, but in development phase they are necessary.
The editor's group who work with default template , keep working on pages , inserting content first in the pages not to be chosen by the admin group who develop the custom template, then the page(s) who are chosen by admin to view the results of the inserted content. Admin group does not need all pages to view the development result of a custom template, And that could be told to editors group to warn them this page is under construction with new template, by the manager or a message from the plugin, or both. You can not assign two templates to the same page in joomla at the same time. Unless you create a copy backsite and one group works on it the other works on another and then the result of one transfered to the other site.
