Would this considered an eggcorn?

Welcome to the forum, pickpen.
“Best laid plants” might be an eggcorn if non-punning uses of it seem to make sense in context—and seem to mean more or less the same thing as the original phrase. Do you have any examples from the Web? I did some very quick googling but found only what looked like puns.
