Can you over-plan a story?

Sure. Over planning a story can happen. It could make the story seem mechanical. Think about it like building a house with only blueprints and no room for adjustments. The story may end up being predictable because you've planned everything out so meticulously. Plus, it can be overwhelming for the writer as they might feel chained to the plan, rather than being able to explore new ideas that pop up during the writing.

Yes, you can over plan a story. You know you're over planning when your plan starts to feel more like a set of strict rules rather than a helpful guide.

Another indication is if any deviation from the plan makes you extremely uncomfortable, as if the story can't exist without following the plan to the letter.

How would that change their relationships, their job, and their view of the world? This can generate a lot of plot ideas and character developments.
