Call off is used with meetings, events, and engagements.

She wanted to call off the wedding.

It does not make sense to me to call off a plan.

Dear Alphecca Stars

First of all, thanks for your answer.

If a group of persons are executing a plan, and one of them wants to cancel the plan, how could be the word?

Thanks for your time!

Stop the project. (I assume the plan is for a project.) Execute the plan = execute the project according to the plan.

Dear Alphecca Stars

First of all, thanks for your last answer.

The plan was a joke to a coworker,

The girl who was part of the joke finally didn`t want to "execute" the plan

In the sentence "I wanted to cancel the plan" is the grammar correct?

Context: The joke was Monday and the coworkers are talking at Wednesday of the same week.

Thanks again

I wanted to cancel the plan.

There is nothing ungrammatical in the sentence. But "cancel a plan" is a strange collocation, as well as a plan meaning a joke. Maybe it would work something like this:

Maria: Jose, let's plan to get married.
Jose: Great. How about next month?
Estafan: Maria, I love you! I thought you wanted to marry me, not Jose. I want you to can
