There is a galaxy of difference between reasonable planning and overplanning. And there's another galaxy between making reasonable plans and then pinning all hopes on expectations. So, we choose the middle path, which is not to reject planning as "bad," or "inferior," but simply to set up tentative plans, but stripped of all expectations of their actual appearance. I would never go to the unhealthy extreme, at any rate, of thinking that moderate planning was either "bad" or "unenlightened."
Plans can be an expression of compassion, created to accommodate the needs of others, not personal ones. Done in Love, planning can be an actual part of your spiritual path.
