planned
'geplant' and 'vorgenommen' can appear in similar situations, but they describe different points in time. 'geplant' says that something was thought out or prepared in advance. It may still be in the future. 'vorgenommen' here means that an action, change, or examination was carried out. So it is about implementation. Learners may confuse the words because you first plan something and then carry it out later. In practice: 'geplant' asks about the intention or plan; 'vorgenommen' asks what was actually done.
