您打算这么干吗？

The English equivalence should be "Are you sure you want to do this thing in this way?" Or are you going to do it in this way?

When someone says that sentence, he knows you might do it in some way and he is trying to confirm about it. Basically, he is not asking whether you would do it or not, but you would do it in the way (you might have planned originally or you appear you tend to be )

这么: in this way
