Morphology
The meaning 'activities or events arranged to take place outdoors' is directly and predictably built from the adjective 'outdoor' (related to outside) modifying the noun 'plans' (arrangements), following a basic adjectival + noun composition. This is a common, cross-linguistically transparent pattern that a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand.
Etymology
Outdoor plans paints a simple picture: outdoor means 'outside' and plans are things you 'arrange'. So outdoor plans are activities you arrange to take place outside, like picnics or walks, and that is why people check the weather or cancel them when it rains.
