Moreover, it surely could be said that the "original" plan of God was that man walk in sinlessless (notwithstanding, of course, that God knew all things in advance, including the foreknowledge of Adam's sin).

But the fact is, Adam, the first Adam (see 1_Corinthans 15:45), did indeed sin, as being in the flesh; and with that sin, death entered in.

"For the wages of sin is death". (Romans 6:23a.)

And as it is written,

"Wherefore, as by one man [[ i.e., Adam ]] sin entered the world, and death [[ entered the world ]] by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned".(Romans 5:12.)

This is why we humans now die in the flesh, even though that could be said to have NOT been God's "original" plan, if one is to continue with the same logic about "original" plan of God.

And thus, with the first Adam's sin, wherein death was brought as the wages of sin, truly, the "original" plan, as it were, was forever after altered.

The fact that we humans die in the flesh is the proof.
