An interesting discussion. To me, planning an entire life before birth, or every event that occurs as having been planned, seems to violate everyone's free will — which has been stressed to be a big deal here.
It seems the biggest aspect of planning would be the choice of what body and environment we want, that will deeply influence the scope of decisions we have available during our lifetime.
I can see us receiving nudges during life to follow a plan, but ultimately don't we have the free will to choose to not listen to guidance or not? And the free will of others can mess up our own plans.
