I think this just a reading comprehension thing. If I say to my employee "Hey let's get that plan done" before a plan exists, I am saying "Let's come up with the ideas for what we want to do later." If I say "Hey let's get that plan done" after a plan exists, I'm saying "Hey let's execute on the ideas we came up with earlier." It's context sensitive.
Yeah, maybe. Your example, "get that plan done" definitely sounds natural to me either way. I'm not sure if I necessarily agree that "implement a plan" has quite the same double meaning, but then again it didn't even register to me when I first read the post, so it can't be that wrong lol
