“Entworfen” (designed) is the past participle of the inseparable verb “entwerfen” (to design). This consists of “ent-” and “werfen” (to throw). The basic idea is to “throw out” or sketch a first idea or plan.

As an adjective before a noun, “entworfen” (designed) is often used in a participial construction to name the creator. The structure is: “das von [Urheber] entworfene [Objekt]” (the [object] designed by [creator]).

planned
'geplant' and 'entworfen' can both mean that something was thought through before being carried out. 'geplant' is more general and fits processes, appointments, projects, or actions. 'entworfen' fits especially when someone designs or conceptualizes something, for example a house, a dress, a poster, or a technical model. It is often about a creative or professional idea that has not necessarily been built or implemented yet. The words can be confused because a design can also be part of a plan. 'geplant' emphasizes organization more, while 'entworfen' emphasizes design.
