envisaged
Describes a plan, idea, or measure that is being considered or contemplated but has not yet been finally decided on or implemented.
Die ursprünglich angedachte Lösung erwies sich als zu kompliziert.
The originally envisaged solution turned out to be too complicated.
The word 'angedacht' (envisaged/planned) is the past participle of the verb 'andenken' (to consider, to think about planning something). This verb means to think about something or to plan something. So 'angedacht' describes a state in which something has already been considered.
Der Plan ist gut, aber noch nicht final beschlossen, er ist erst einmal nur angedacht.
The plan is good, but not yet finally decided; for now, it is only envisaged.
'Angedacht' (envisaged/planned) is used like an adjective. It can stand before a noun or be used with the verb 'sein' (to be) to describe a state.
Der angedachte Termin muss leider verschoben werden.
The envisaged date unfortunately has to be postponed.
This word belongs more to formal language, especially in the areas of planning, administration, and politics. It is used less often in everyday colloquial speech.

'Angedacht' (envisaged/planned) is often combined with nouns that describe plans or concepts. Typical examples are 'die angedachte Lösung' (the envisaged solution), 'das angedachte Projekt' (the envisaged project), 'die angedachte Maßnahme' (the envisaged measure), or 'der angedachte Zeitplan' (the envisaged schedule).

planned
Geplant usually refers to a measure that has already been considered and prepared in more concrete terms. Angedacht means that the measure has so far only been considered and has not yet been finally decided on. So angedacht is suitable for an initial idea, while geplant is more appropriate for a fully developed plan.
