Incorporating user requests into planning processes is a key concept in developing flexible planning technologies. Such systems may be required to change its planning model to adapt to certain user requests. In this paper, we assume a user provides a non-solution plan to a system and asks it to change the planning model so that the plan becomes a solution. We study the computational complexity of deciding whether such changes exist in the context of Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) planning. We prove that the problem is NP-complete in general independent of what or how many changes are allowed. We also identify several conditions which make the problem tractable when they are satisfied.
