sp...planned

Correct
"planned to seize"

looks like a simple predicate to me.

If it said:

"planned to seize immediately"

I would say "planned to seize" was the simple predicate
and
"planned to seize immediately" was the complete predicate
Writeacher knows far more about this subject than I.
"to seize" is an infinitive ... it complements the main verb
