This does not somehow make the work “planned”. That has a specific definition and this ain’t it.

Some people may have called it out as a risk when it was implemented. But that still doesn’t mean it’s planned.

Someone may have included an explicit report on how to deal with it at that time. That still doesn’t make it planned.

Also, just because it’s known to be a risk and may have a chance to happen in the future does not make it expected either. Nor planned.
