Yes, your sentence means the same thing, but both sentences are unnatural. Better is, "I plan to be done with the work by tomorrow".

@leopard7 “I’ve planned to have finished/be done with the work by tomorrow”
Don’t use “have been done” because that indicates the past perfect tense. That tense is usually used to refer to an action done in the past and is still being continued in the present. Of course, according to the sentence, you’re finishing work from the past and then ending it. You’re not continuing it forward, meaning you shouldn’t use that tense. I gave you two options this in the sentence, either “have finished” or “be done” can work.

Thank you very much, but isn't it obvious that "have been done" indicates the future event at least in my sentence?

Yes you’re correct, but the thing is with the perfect tenses is that it’s goes on forever. What I mean is, if it was past tense it would start from there and keep going on.
Ex. (Past) -> past- present
(Past perfect) past- present (is still being done)
So yes it does indicate continuing in the future, however it’s not in the right way in this context. Plus it doesn’t sound natural to use from my standpoint. I don’t want to keep trying explain more about this other branch of tenses since it may get more confusing, but just understand that that little phrase isn’t really used for that situation. A good situation it could be used in is:
“All of your paper work have been done today”
