| Feb 18, 2022 at 20:13 | comment | added | WS2 | "Plan out" as a phrasal verb sounds like a relative newcomer to me. Some dictionaries like Collins recognise it (earliest reference - 2009), with examples from British newspapers of the last decade. But the OED doesn't have anything on it at all. I consider myself someone who reads widely, but I had never seen it before. | |

| Feb 18, 2022 at 19:55 | comment | added | Campbell D | I should mention the preceding sentence is something like, "Thank you for sharing that information." Therefore, the sentence I quoted in the OP is saying, "now that we have that information, we can fully plan out our schedule." That is why I lean on the side of plan out but again I'm not sure. | |
