So many environments for Planner but little ability to share.

Ok, we've been bashing our heads trying to figure out where things end up when creating plans using Planner Premium.

 

If I go to Planner and create a Plan it is stored in project.microsoft.com which is accessible to both Planner and Project Online (Planner web). I can link that Plan to a channel and it appears in the tabs. What I can't do is add it to the Channel's HomePage (add existing plan is greyed out). Nor can I access it with Project Desktop (PWA). 

 

If I create a new plan from the HomePage, it is added to the HomePage, I can view it from Planner in Teams. I can go to planner.cloud.microsoft and it will be visible there. I can't see it with Planner Online (project.microsoft.com) nor can I see it via Project Desktop (PWA).

If I create a plan with Project Desktop (PWA) I can open it with Project Online once it is published but I can't see it on Planner in Teams or Online. I can add it to the Tabs in Teams however but can't add it to the Channel HomePage (Project is no longer listed in Toolbox Web parts, just Planner).

I can't copy paste plans or selected tasks between environments. I can export plans but where is the import feature for Planner/Project Online (planner.cloud.microsoft)?

Is it because of misconfiguration /permissions or it was planned this way? Is there a way to allow Plans stored in project.microsoft.com to be posted in HomePage? I would also love to have Project and RoadMap back too. It all feels very disjointed. Too much Agile not enough Waterfall.
