'Angekündigt' (announced) is the past participle of the separable verb 'ankündigen' (to announce). It is very often used like a normal adjective before a noun or after a verb such as 'sein' (to be).
Der angekündigte Sturm war zum Glück nicht so stark.
Fortunately, the announced storm was not that strong.
The phrase 'Wie angekündigt, ...' (as announced, ...) is a very common way to begin a sentence. It refers to information that is already known. The verb of the main clause follows directly after the comma.
Wie angekündigt, beginnt die Prüfung um 9 Uhr.
As announced, the exam begins at 9 o'clock.
The adjective often describes official plans, events, or information. Typical nouns are 'Besuch' (visit), 'Änderung' (change), 'Maßnahme' (measure), 'Reform' (reform), or 'Streik' (strike).
Die angekündigten Maßnahmen sollen die Wirtschaft stärken.
The announced measures are intended to strengthen the economy.
planned
'geplant' and 'angekündigt' both refer to something that does not happen completely unexpectedly. 'geplant' means that something was thought out and prepared in advance. 'angekündigt' means that someone made it known beforehand. That is not the same thing: something can be planned without others knowing about it. And something can be announced even if the exact preparation is not yet clear. There is a particular risk of confusion with dates and events. Ask yourself: Is it about the preparation? Then 'geplant' fits. Is it about communicating it to others? Then 'angekündigt' fits.
