Planner would need to -
  (a) export tasks to Evolution [one assumes via D-Bus to EDS]
   - or - 
  (b) create tasks in Evolution [use EDS]
   - or - 
  (c) have a backend loaded into Evolution to access the Planner data

I'd guess that it uses option (b) based on
<https://git.gnome.org/browse/planner/tree/eds-backend>

But I don't know anything about this.  The Planner community would be a
more specific place to ask.  They have a mailing list @
<http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/planner-list> and an IRC channel
#planner on irc.gnome.org (GIMPnet).

Note that Evolution backends have [AFAIK] changed somewhat in recent
releases, so very old plugs probably do not work unless someone is
maintaining them - there is not much traffic on the Planner lists, which
*may* not be a good sign [that is not necessarily a good measure of a
project's vitality].

Planner is an interesting application - I personally have not used it.
But if you find anything elsewhere please report back here.
