I disagree, because you can already see it emerging in peer production. The basic level is stigmergy, i.e. you see in Wikipedia or github the state of advancement of the project you want to contribute to .. but as you advance in your integration in the communitty, you start communicating to have a more clearer view of what needs to be done and what has already being done, in order to adjust your contribution and avoid needless duplication .. but assume you create a phyle, to make your work sustainable, then it becomes even more imperative to make sure your allocation makes sense, and you can again do this through communication, negotation, with the partners in your network or ‘ecology. From there to imagine that the process can be structured, is not a huge step …

Anyone who has managed any kind of project, even the most concrete civil engineering project, knows, planning is one thing, doing another.

Very largely its implicit collective knowledge, which is made up of moments of individuals interacting or less often alone.
