I believe it should be "replaced" because "Jim did not like the plan" shows that the sentence is in the past tense. "Replace" is in the present tense, which does not agree with the tense of the rest of the sentence.

I think you've misread what Jay Dickson said.

[nq:1]I think you've misread what Jay Dickson said. The word "replaced" is in quotation marks, i.e. he is telling the original poster that he should use the word "replaced" instead of the word "replace" because the verb has to be in the past tense.[/nq]
You are right, thanks for the correction.
