Download the Microsoft Project File with the custom fields and formulas already updated for ready to use for your project plan. Why do we need Planned % completion in MS Project? Well, in MS Project we have a default column % completion which is manually updated by the PM. However if we want to know what should be the planned % complete for that task and how it track against the actual % complete then we need to calculate the Planned % complete value. 

Ex. If you have a task that starts on Monday and ends on Friday. So the total task duration is 5 days, that means ideally each day 20% of the work should be completed to reach 100% by end of Friday. So the custom field “Planned % Complete” will calculate that for each task with the formula I included in the file, so that when you receive the actual % completion value from your team you would be able to compare and it against the calculated planned % complete to identify whether the task is running late or ahead.
