This hand is about control, you need to save entries to hand to ruff clubs and draw trumps keeping the control.

You need to eventually lose ♠AK to make your 10th trick on that suit.

The only play that lets you make the hand at trick 2:

Spoiler

is to play a trick at trick 2, doing something useful from dummy while you keep your entres intact, opponents will next play a red suit to put you in hand, and then you will ruff clubs in dummy and keep control

Ruff a diamond and play a spade. Take trump back and play another spade. Then cash ♣J and xruff the remainder.

The key is to do something useful while you are in dummy (knock out ♠AK) while you do something more useful while you are in hand (ruff clubs).
