I came across playjarism as a respelling of plagiarism. In Google I found 36 results along with playjarise and playjarize. It is not nearly as common as the more phonetic respelling plagerism.
Playjarism would be an eggcorn if someone thought it had something to do with a play jar. For that matter, plagerism might be an eggcorn if someone thought it was taken from the surname Plager.
