demolition plans scrapped
A planned demolition is canceled before being carried out, leaving the object in existence.
Demolition plans are scrapped when a planned demolition event is canceled without being carried out. This means that the object will continue existing.
The plan is abandoned rather than merely awaiting execution. The event does not describe completion of demolition or a pause after physical destruction has begun.
The canceled proposal leaves the object existing. A later, separate demolition proposal would be a new event rather than changing what this cancellation records.
