Blades in the dark, the Forged in the dark games, or White lies have a way to do this.
First, the character do the plan, not the players. It means that the planning phase is just an ellipse and players have a limited flashback possibilities (ah yes, but in fact it was a possibility so my character knows that .. or has the need tool to ...) and they use clocks (4 to 8 pieces pies that are filled step by step, ok so one more tick on the "general red alert" clock, only to remaining).

I had such player at my table but it was more that they could ignore what they knew. So they still were doing perception checks and I was still responding but randomly, without saying it.
Once, for a critical failure on a perception check, I said they saw the lord was too bright, too clean, and wait are those scales? Could be a dragonborn or even more? They spend the full enquiry rejecting the possibility to have a dragon in disguise. Sad for them.
I heard someone if France saying that DnD has nearly 90% of the market in the US while only 40%-50% in France. Fantasy still has 70%.
