Thanks! I'm sure it wouldn't be wrong, per se, to add 'flows' or 'sequences', but it doesn't sound natural to English ears.

planning process flows


Explanation:
Bernd might be right but "Prozessabläufe" can also be rendered more specifically as "process flows" (or "process sequences", as suggested above).

processes in planning


Explanation:
the source term planerisch indicates that this process (or process sequence or process flow) is still in the planning stage - not an established and proven process. Having a process in the planning stage allows a lot of modifications and optimize at low cost.
