  The planning problem for the mean field game implies the one tries to
transfer the system of infinitely many identical rational agents from the given
distribution to the final one using the choice of the terminal payoff. It can
be formulated as the mean field game system with the boundary condition only on
the measure variable. In the paper, we consider the continuous-time finite
state mean field game assuming that the space of actions for each player is
compact. It is shown that the planning problem in this case may not admit a
solution even if the final distribution is reachable from the initial one.
Further, we introduce the concept of generalized solution of the planning
problem for the finite state mean field game based on the minimization of
regret of the representative player. This minimal regret solution always
exists. Additionally, the set of minimal regret solution is the closure of the
set of classical solution of the planning problem provided that the latter is
nonempty.
