What case is 'завтра' ? Genetive ??
Technically, завтра is an adverb, so it has no cases.
Actully it is from the same website!

8. "For" in setting a deadline = на + Accusative
For in the sense of a deadline or due date is expressed by на+Acc.

мой план на лето my plan(s) for the summer
Wrong example again ???
Those are all correct examples. Russian grammar isn't so strict. If it makes you feel any better, here: It's accusative when it is possible to put whatever comes afterwards in accusative.
The problem with this website is the examples are using nouns which look the same in the nominative and accusative.Quote:

Лето is neuter, so Лето in the accusative looks the same, Лето
мой план на зиму = my plan(s) for the winter.
зиму = accusative of зима
there is a song called Надежда на завтра
Yep...
you can also consider it a time expression which is in the accusative.
Well, there's ways around that.Quote:

What were you thinking??
Methinks John was just confused by the word Zaftra. He knew it had to go in the accusative, and thought Zaftra was a noun.Quote:

Well, if it is a year or smaller, use the prepositional. Anything over takes the accusative...
В прошлОМ годУ

Isn't it something like. Longer than a day, or shorter than a year, or a year, then you use prepositional.
В субботу
yea. A day or shorter is В +accusative
a week = На + prep
and i guess a year is в plus prep
