superintended

'controlled' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'plan's beneath grand editor' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'editor' could be 'ed' (abbreviation) and 'ed' is found within the answer.
'plan' could be 'intend' (intending is a kind of planning) and 'intend' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'super' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
