They are not created by anyone. Plans are also typically partial norms which are supposed to be fleshed out over time, whereas it makes no sense to talk about incrementally developing the laws of logic or morality.

I adopted a plan to cook dinner tonight precisely so that it would guide my conduct in the direction of cooking dinner. Customary norms, on the other hand, may exist even though they were not created in order to be used in decision-making.

Applying a plan is a three-step process. The plan-applier must determine: (1) the content of the plan; (2) the context of its application; and (3) how to conform to the plan in that context.
