<em>We planned to take a trip to Asia in three years or less.</em>
The modifier "in three years or less" was misplaced.
- A <u>misplaced modifier</u> is a word or phrase which is separated from the subject it modifies, thus making the sentence syntactically incorrect as well as illogical:<em> I found the </em><u><em>stained</em></u><em> man's hankerchief</em>.
- A <u>squinting modifier</u> creates ambiguity in a sentence through its placement, by making it unclear which part it modifies (the one that comes before it or the one that comes after it): <em>Combing your hair </em><u><em>softly</em></u><em> detangles it</em>.
- A <u>dangling modifier</u> gives an information without clearly stating its subject in the sentence. It often consists of "<em>having</em> + past participle" or "<em>being</em> + past participle" constructions, like: <u><em>Being tired after the show</em></u><em>, going straight home was the best plan</em>.

Answer:
Subordinating
Explanation:
The underlined phrase in the given sentence is <em>in order that.</em>
Subordinating conjunctions are conjunctions used to connect a subordinating (dependent) clause to the main (independent) clause.
<em>In order that</em> is an example of a subordinating conjunction. It is used to express the purpose or reason why the events described in the main clause take place. <em>The judge listened to the explanation</em> is the main clause. The subordinating clause introduced by the conjunction<em> in order that</em> explains why he listened to the explanation - because he wanted to decide fairly.
