just opened it up...well verse 15 is about evil people who plot and plan(such as,at the time the chapter was revealed it would hav been the Quresh) while verse 16 is about Allah planning...and ofcourse Allahs plans r the greatest becuase He is the best of planners
the whole surah is about the protection Allah gives to the believers against evil doers
u should really read Abdullah Yusaf Ali's translations...his are defently the best translations

Read verse before this, 86:15 there is the answer to your question.
and you can see the result with your own eyes.
They had scheme to kill thousands in 9-11 so people will hate Islam, but it turned out to be the other way, more people convert to Islam after 9-11 than ever before.

I'm no scholar, but much of the Qur'an was revealed at specific times, within context. So this verse could've just as easily been regarding a specific attack that the pagans of the area had waged against the early muslims, and was set out as a way to remain faithful and optimistic in their upcoming trials and tribulations.
But then again, you guys don't want any information that would oppose your hope that it was about killing infidels and wanting to destroy America. As you were bigots!

Note that it is very hard to translate the Quran to English so it may not be totally accurate. I think, in context, it is addressing the unbelievers who deny the afterlife and God. They have their own lives planned and are spreading lies (knowingly or not). God, though, is the ultimate planner and He has the Last Day planned and surely it will come. They bank on no afterlife but God's plans are bigger and they will soon find out. Peace and blessings :)

Muhammad was a warlord and warlords "scheme" against their imagined "enemies".
Consider this aya:
Quran 9:5 “But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)
Here the warlord prophet devulges his "scheme". The warlord prophet tells goodly Muslims to lie and wait for them in stealth. Furthermore, there are "strategems" of war, or carefully planned murder zones, which is an elaborate murder scheme.

If Oppressors inherit it by (mutual) agreement. The first of them serves as a leader for the latter one and the latter one follows the first one. They vie with each other in (the matter of) this lowly world, and leap over this stinking carcass. Shortly the follower will denounce his connection with the leader, and the leader with the follower. They will disunite on account of mutual and curse one another when they meet. Then after this there will appear another arouser of mischief who will destroy ruined things. The heart will become wavering after being normal, men will be misled after safety, desires will multiply and become diversified and views will become confused.
Whoever proceeds towards this mischief will be ruined and whoever strives for it will be annihilated. They will be biting each other during it as the wild asses bite each other in the herd. The coils of the rope will be disturbed and the face of affairs will be blinded. During it sagacity will be on the ebb, and the oppressors will (get the opportunity to) speak. This mischief will smash the Bedouins with its hammers and crush them with its chest. In its dust the single marchers will be lost, and in its way the horsemen will be destroyed. It will approach with the bitterness of destiny and will give pure blood (instead of milk). It will breach the minarets of faith and shatter the ties of firm belief. The wise will run away from it while the wicked will foster it. It will thunder and flash (like lightning). It will create a severe disaster. In it kinship will be forsaken and Islam will be abandoned. He who declaims it will also be affected by it, and he who flees from it will (be forced to) stay in it.
Among them some will be unavenged martyrs and some will be stricken with fear and seek protection. They will be deceived by pledges and fraudulent belief. You should not become landmarks of mischiefs and signs of innovations but should adhere to that on which the rope of the community has been wound and on which the pillars of obedience have been founded. Proceed towards Allah as oppressed and do not proceed to Him as oppressors. Avoid the paths of Satan and the places of revolt. Do not put in your bellies unlawful morsels because you are facing Him Who has made disobedience unlawful for you, and made the path of obedience easy for you.

Allah is planning, and the disbelievers are planning, and Allah is the best of those who plan.
