"That would be the plan" sounds more natural and is commonly used. This is because he is telling his audience a story about how he was supposed to write a paper versus the reality of writing that paper. "That would be the plan" is a way of reiterating the plan that you have for something. Ex: A: Are you going to go tonight? B: That would be the plan.
