later than planned vs later than was planned

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Later than planned' is a more concise and common way to express that something is happening after the scheduled time. 'Later than was planned' is also correct, but it sounds a bit more formal and emphasizes the action of planning that took place in the past.
