what did you decide to do vs what have you decided to do

The phrases are both correct, but the contexts in which they are used differ a bit. 'What did you decide to do?' is used when asking about a decision that was made in the past, while 'What have you decided to do?' is used when asking about a decision that was made recently or is still relevant in the present.
