"A year's plan lies in spring, and a day's plan lies in the morning" means that a year's plan should be arranged in spring. Metaphor is to make plans early in everything, and to grasp at the beginning. Do more and do a good job at the beginning of a year (or a day) to lay a good foundation for the whole year (or a whole day).

A year's plan lies in spring, which shows that only hard work in spring can yield a bumper harvest, and a day's plan lies in the morning, which also reflects the preciousness of the morning. Both sentences are metaphors that life needs to cherish time.
