to schedule up
To allocate or reserve something, usually time or money, completely for specific purposes so that none of it is left.
Ich kann dir leider nicht helfen, mein ganzes Wochenende ist schon verplant.
Unfortunately, I can't help you; my whole weekend is already scheduled up.
to misplan
To make a mistake in your own planning, for example by misjudging the time or resources needed.
Ich habe mich bei der Fahrzeit total verplant und komme jetzt leider zu spät.
I totally misplanned the travel time and unfortunately I'm going to be late now.
The verb 'verplanen' has the prefix 'ver-' and is therefore inseparable. The prefix remains firmly attached to the verb in all conjugations and sentence forms.
Sie verplant ihr Gehalt immer schon am Anfang des Monats.
She always schedules up her salary right at the beginning of the month.
The prefix 'ver-' has two functions here. Without a reflexive pronoun, it means 'to use up completely' (all the money is scheduled/allocated). With a reflexive pronoun ('sich verplanen'), it means to make a mistake.
Sein Urlaub ist schon komplett mit Terminen verplant.
His vacation is already completely scheduled up with appointments.
If you want to express a mistake in planning, you must use the verb reflexively: 'sich verplanen' (to misplan). The reflexive pronoun ('mich', 'dich', 'sich', etc.) is obligatory for this meaning.
Wir haben uns mit dem Budget für die Renovierung total verplant.
We totally misplanned the budget for the renovation.
to plan in / allow for
Einplanen means taking time or money into account when planning and setting something aside for it. Verplanen, by contrast, emphasizes that the available resource is fully committed, so nothing is left over. Use einplanen for an allotted portion and verplanen for allocating the entire resource.
Für die Renovierung habe ich mein gesamtes Monatsbudget verplant.
I have allocated my entire monthly budget to the renovation.
Für die Fahrt zum Bahnhof muss ich heute eine halbe Stunde einplanen.
I have to allow half an hour to get to the train station today.
