Note
Because every sense of proceed is intransitive, the participle appears only after have (the talks had proceeded slowly) and never forms a passive: nothing is "proceeded" by anyone. The prepositions carry much of the meaning instead. Proceeded to marks the move to a next stage or topic, while proceeded from names a source, as when a complaint proceeded from a misunderstanding.
