계획 refers to a set of intended actions. It often implies a structured, formal or long-term plan. To express the action of making a plan, you can use two common collocations: 계획을 세우다, which means 'to make or set a plan' and 계획을 짜다, which is used when the focus is on the process of organizing or constructing a detailed plan.
Meaning: set of intended actions (noun)

While 계획 refers to a structured or long-term plan, other terms like 용무 or 일정 might be used for more specific tasks or individual schedules.
