Planning complexity is an underestimated process that uses poor tools and was little discussed as a method in the project management literature. The more complex the human organization the more problems are all over the process. Tools, methods, and theoretical understanding of a complexity plan needed to be evaluated as a whole and they must encompass all human organization and environmental change aspects. The paper explains the theory and the reference tools and, as a result, suggests developing strategies and cooperative decision-making tools before starting planning complexity. The more complex the plan the more stakeholders are needed to decide and cooperate with the planners. It is fallacious to try to shortcut the process needs using digitalization or other cost-saving tools with an expectation of being more efficient. As the complex plan is not easy to define and forecast, the entropy of the system is reached only raising energy or costs to manage all the problems that spread up when the plan starts. It is not a problem of inefficiency and a cause-effect process.
