Laid-back pig makes plans (4)
I believe the answer is:
maps
'plans' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for maps that I've seen before include "Diagrams of geographical areas" , "Charts" , "Plans" , "Plots" , "Books of maps" .)
