About にもとづいて
In order to say that one thing is 'based on' another in Japanese, the expression に基づいて will be used. This is a combination of the case marking particle に, the う - Verb, 基づく 'to originate from', and the conjunction particle て. This expression regularly highlights some kind of judgement/conclusion that the speaker has made, using (A) as their base.
To use に基づいて, put the noun (or noun phrase) that you would like to identify as a 'basis' before に基づいて, and then express your judgment/conclusion in part (B) of the sentence.

Fun Fact
The kanji 基 is fairly accurately translated as 'foundation', and is regularly used to highlight things that 'stem' from something. Due to this, に基づいて may also be used to identify things that are 'produced from (A)', 'created from (A)', or 'invented based on (A)'.- あの国の法律は宗教に基づいて作られている。That country's law is founded on religion.

I am having some trouble understanding the distinction between this point and の下で – for example, in the sample sentence ちゃんと計画に基づいて、動いてください, would ちゃんと計画のもとで、動いてください not have the same meaning?
