Etymology
This is a standard English noun phrase combining the quantifier 'a few' (referring to an unspecified small number of people/things), the plural verb 'are', and the present participle of the verb 'plan', which derives from the Latin 'plānus' meaning 'flat, level, smooth' via Old French 'planer'.
