    I don't know of a usage of "language engineering" related to "language
    planning".
    A description of the technical use of the term is: "language engineering"
    is to NLP
    development as "software engineering" is to software development--it implies
    a
    structured, well-organized approach to NLP development, as oppposed to
    seat-of-the-pants
    development.
