World models trained with joint-embedding predictive architectures learn compact, structured latent representations from physical interaction, yet planning in these latent spaces typically relies on one of two costly approaches. Search-based planners such as CEM, MPPI, and iCEM optimize action sequences through many predictor rollouts, achieving strong performance at the cost of high per-decision compute and latency. Policy-based methods amortize inference into a single forward pass but can degrade on contact-rich tasks where the demonstration distribution is multimodal. We propose LePlanner, an amortized iterative controller that learns to construct and refine latent action sequences through a frozen world-model predictor. LePlanner is trained with an arrival-and-hold objective that encourages the controller to reach the goal at the earliest feasible horizon and remain there. This addresses horizon-reset procrastination, a failure mode in which repeated receding-horizon replanning continually postpones goal arrival. An additional action-Gaussian loss keeps generated actions near the support of the offline dataset. Across navigation, contact-rich manipulation, and continuous-control environments, LePlanner matches or exceeds search-based planners while requiring an order of magnitude fewer predictor evaluations and 3-49x lower wall-clock time per decision. It achieves success rates of 98% on PushT, 100% on Reacher, 100% on TwoRooms, and 92% on the OGBench Cube task. These results show that much of the structure discovered through online search can be amortized into a lightweight iterative policy, enabling fast, horizon-aware, nonlinear physical control without online optimization.
