I think they have an overall plan  and what they want to hit and where it will end up, but then "Oh, shiny new toy" kicks in an messes somethings up and I doubt they plan the specifics before the season.

Like Zelena's death and return. I think they thought like a week later.....what if she didn't die and that it wasn't priorly planned to definitely bring her back. That's why I think they leave many things vague to manipulate it it in future episodes and seasons.
