I HAVE COME ACROSS THIS EXPRESSION A FEW TIMES BEFORE, AND I THINK IT IS WRONG.
AS THE AUTHOR OF THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH IS MEXICAN AND HOPEFULLY I WILL BE GETTING SPANISH>ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS FROM THE SAME SOURCE, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOUR VALUABLE OPINIONS IN CASE THEY ASK ME TO USE "FUTURE PLANNED" INSTEAD OF "PROJECTED."
THANKS!

Thank you very much, Eldira.
It seems clear enough that native speakers would not use "future planned" in a contract.

future planned

Explanation:
María Eugenia, long time no see. How R u?
On future planned: The guy wants to say something like "on currently planned - and futurely planned - game software", but of course that's not the way to do it. So he says "present and future planned".

my take

Explanation:
I think that the wording is pretty poor. It is perfectly clear what they mean, but it doesn't sound like it has been written by a professional native-English writer. What they mean is....

"the current game software and that planned for the future."

If they really insist on "future planned", then they should use a hyphen between the two words "future-planned" because it is a two part adjective (think about the difference between a "fast sailing ship" and a "fast-sailing ship". However, as I said above, I do not believe that it is eloquent English usage.

FWIW

"Hyphenation
If in doubt, follow the Oxford English Dictionary (not Collins) hyphenation rules.

Hyphenate compounds such as up-to-the-minute and out-of-date when used attributively (before a noun). They are used with spaces when used predicatively.
The out-of-date research paper. The research paper is out of date.

Hyphenate compounds used attributively. in-house teams, a 12-year-old pupil

Hyphenate fractions (whether nouns or adjectives). two-thirds, four-fifths, one-sixth

Words with prefixes such as anti-, non-, and neo- are generally to be hyphenated.
non-existent, non-payment, non-violent

Exceptions are: nonaligned, nonconformist, nonplussed, nonstop, neoclassicism, neolithic, neologism

Separate identical letters with a hyphen.
co-operate, co-ordinate, unco-operative, pre-eminent, pre-empt, re-emerge, re-entry
Exceptions include: override, overrule, underrate, withhold

Nouns formed from prepositional verbs need a hyphen.
build-up, call-up, get-together, round-up, set-up, shake-up, knowledge-building

Adverbs do not need to be linked to participles or adjectives by hyphens in simple constructions.
The school was ill equipped for delivering ICT.
The principle is well established.

But if the adverb is one of two words together being used adjectivally, a hyphen may be needed.
All well-established principles should be periodically challenged."
