NV. vs. vul., IMPs., LHO deals and opens 1♣ (standard 2/1):

(1♣) - 1♦ - (2♣) and you hold:

Q9XX
JXXX
KTX
xx

Assume that 2♣ is more constructive than a jump to 3♣.

2♦ seems 100% normal. Second choice would be 3♦ but partner would have to know that this is our style, otherwise I imagine it could induce an expensive save.

2♦ - partner is likely to be on lead and we need to tell them right now that we have some help in diamonds.

Just 2♦. If partner has extras I'll hear about it.

I'm not sure this promises diamond support and since 2D describes my hand I will bid it.

2♦, I want partner to lead a diamond, and I don't want to give the opponents my distribution on a platter. If it was MPs, this would be a slightly tougher problem, since majors score higher if its our hand, but I think 2♦ is right even then.
