Morphology

replan = plan (transparent) = re + plan

The noun means a plan made again or revised, which is a straightforward application of the productive prefix 're-' to 'plan'.

Etymology

Replan comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and the word plan meaning 'a decision about how to do something'. So, a replan is a new or changed plan made after things have changed.
