I feel so disappointed after reading this thread.

For planner synch to work you have to add the calendar manually from Outlook. 

Steps

1. From Planner ->Add Plan to Outlook Calendar

2. Copy the "ICalendar Link". Do not click on the "Add to Outlook" hyperlink

3. From Outlook -> Calendars ->Open Calendar (from ribbon)->Choose "From Internet"

4. Paste "Icalendar Link"

5. A new Untitled Calendar is created. Synch between planner and outlook works fine

6. Rename Calendar Accordingly
