What does she have planned?

Hi teachers,

What does she have planned this week?

I do not understand this structure. If talking about 'this week', should we say: What is she planning this week?

Then I get confused because 'What has she plannned this week?'

Thanks

Hi Mister Micawber,

Is 'What does she have planned this week? same as asking 'What has she planned for this week?' if we are still in the middle of this week?

Yes, the intent is the same; just a different structure.

Hi Mister Micawber,

Can I ask if 'What has she planned for this week?' is a grammatical in everyday speech?
Would you show me what other sentences could be used to mean the same?
