"Plan" or "Planing" ?
Please look at this question.
Thanks to detailed ___, the relocation of the office will only take a day to complete.
(A) plan (B) planning
The correct answer is (b) planning.
I couldn't understand why (b) planning had to be a correct answer.
Q1) Is (b) planing a gerund ? ( In fact, it didn't look like a gerund to me, Just looked another noun which has another meaning against the noun of "plan") If it is a gerund, do they have to write like "detailedly" not "detailed" ?
I think It's better for gerund to get modified by adverb, not adjective. Am I wrong ? Is that word of "detailed" adverb in that sentence ?
Q2) could someone explain why I have to use "planning" not "plan" in that sentence ?
Thanks in advance.

Then, do you mean that the word of "planning" indicates a kind of actions planned and on the other hand, the noun of "plan" indicates "plan' itself. Furthermore, normal noun requires an article. Do I clearly understand your explanation ? Anyway, thank you so much for your kind answers.

Plan can also be a verb, but would be used to say, "I will plan the relocation of the office." or "I will plan to relocate the office."
I think planning would be in the present progressive tense, which is an action that is happening now, or a continuous action.
