「計画」 is the default word for a plan. Use 「企画」 for planning projects or events, 「予定」 for schedules, 「プラン」 for plans and paid packages, 「構想」 for broad visions, 「戦略」 for strategy, and 「案」 for concrete proposals. For scheming with a negative shade pick 「画策」, 「企て」, 「計略」 or 「策略」; 「目論見」 is a neutral private plan (「目論見どおり」). Loanwords 「スキーム」, 「ストラテジー」, 「デザイン」, 「プランニング」 and 「プログラム」 suit business, design and scheduling, and 「図る」 is a written verb for working toward an aim. 「無計画」 and 「偶然」 stand for the absence of a plan.
