I'll focus on one element that you suggest would be difficult.

Several Tons of Planted Explosives at strategic points, wired together for coordinated explosion, plus detonators.

How to plant them?
Pay a contractor to install state-of-the-art safety equipment. Or communications equipment. They don't even have to know what it is they are
installing. It would take a team of maybe five or ten people. The product is supplied for installation, unmarked, in sealed metal boxes with
instructions to install.
It's really not that hard.
If you paid a sub-contractor enough to simply install some equipment in specific locations, they probably wouldn't even ask questions if it was
labelled as "Communications". And, this could have been done a long time ago.
You could even pay a team of people directly employed by the government to do this knowingly, and tell them that it is a contingency plan in case the
towers are attacked. It wouldn't take a lot to convince people that removing the towers is better than allowing them to burn continuously for weeks
or months, becoming an icon for the enemy.

How much?
It wouldn't take a lot if the right substance is used and it's used in the right place. There would have to be accurate scientific tests to simulate
the collapse of such a building without even expecting it to one day happen. There ARE people who know how this would happen and how little it would
take. It's their job to know this for structural safety and for the eventual safe demolition of those buildings.

Who to plant them? (Seals? Some covert SpecOps team?)
Any government agency, recently pardoned ex-offenders with everything to gain, a sub-contractor who didn't even know what they were installing. Take
your pick.

How long would it take? (a night? five nights?)
I guess it all depends on how many there are to install and how many men are involved. But there was a complete shut down weeks before the event on
the upper floors. Companies were told this was for maintenance. Even though no such maintenance had required a shut down of this degree ever
before.
Working twelve hour night shifts this could presumably be done over a week or less.

How to get them into the building? (I assume the building had security personnel, or were they in the know?)
If it is sanctioned by the owner/occupier, why would security even question it?
I work in security, and all it takes is the client requesting access be permitted to a sub-contractor. Security staff do not ever conduct their own
"investigations" beyond being told by their client what to allow.

How many men required to plant them?
Again it depends. If all they are doing is attaching a box to a metal pillar, one could assume that one man would be able to complete this in
reasonably short time. How many would be required for each floor? Would they be on every floor or every other floor? Are they attached by magnetic
blocks, cable ties, bolts or just placed on the floor beside pillars?

How to coordinate explosions (ie run wires from stick-to-stick?)
Radio communications or timers could be used. They often are. Even if they were not, a building like this would have various defunct cabling already
in place. All you would need to do is tap into that cable.

What if the initial plane attack shakes some explosives free from detonators, or breaks firing regulation (for a chain of explosions) and some
unexploded packages are found later amid debris?
The impact could have loosened some of the devices, but these would be on those floors directly involved in the impact wouldn't they? And so it is
fair to say that they would be destroyed. Workers on the scene have stated that everything was turned to dust. Even the planes were completely
destroyed (but a passport wasn't!)
Molten metal was found, and evidence of explosives, and yet these are not officially questioned are they?

What if the planes don't hit as planned (how to get the explosives out without detection?)
Why would they need to be removed? Just create another scenario in which the towers collapse. Perhaps the devices reported to have exploded in the
basement prior to this were the fail safe excuse in case the planes missed their target?
Even if the mission was aborted and the excuse to attack Iraq to secure the oil was found another way, they could have simply hired another contractor
to remove "defunct equipment" from the towers. Again they wouldn't have to know what they were removing.

How far ahead of time would the explosions have to be placed? What chance of them being found by eg Maintenance Crew?
It depends on their initial intention. If they were put there as a precaution, to take down an icon to prevent continued humiliation and torment in an
event like this, then it could have been years ago.
If it was done specifically for this event, it could have been completed the week before.
If the maintenance crew believed that these were "communications equipment" why would they question their position in the buildings?
In such a building, employees don't routinely search in elevator shafts and under floors just for fun. They are issued with problems to solve and
they investigate and solve them.

People Count (how many people are going to have to work on this project?)
Not many.
Like I said, it would only take a small team of men a few weeks at most to simply put some boxes in specific places. Working twelve hour shifts this
could be done very quickly.
-----------------------------
The entire event seems to have two distinct people battling different sides. You have the one side believing that anything is possible and that the
evidence at least suggests that there was some government involvement or knowledge, then you have the opposing side believing in everything their
government says, despite the clear and obvious evidence to the contrary.
None of us know exactly how this was done, but with a little imagination and a little common sense, it's far from impossible. This is a government
that has put a man on the moon, created some of the most remarkable weaponry known to man, and has done some pretty disgusting things to its own
people and others in the name of progress and national defence. Why is it such a stretch to think that they could do this too?
There are a few things about 9-11 that make it highly suspicious, and the US government refusing to accept or even recognise the discrepancies
doesn't help their defence.
If they have nothing to hide why don't they explain the free-fall speed?
If there is nothing they can be blamed for why not investigate the traces of explosives found?
If they were not complicit, why don't they explain why the steel was removed from the site with great speed and secrecy?
If there is nothing suspicious why don't they tell us how the BBC reported the collapse of WTC7 before it happened?
Why don't they explain how two buildings collapsed into rubble, including two jet aircraft, and yet a passport was found in the streets below (in all
that mess!) intact. And how is it then possible that some of the people named for the event are proven to be alive and well elsewhere?
The biggest mystery of all is how so many idiots simply accept the BS stated by the government as fact, despite all of these discrepancies.
How do Americans sleep at night knowing the thousands of innocent people died under such circumstances and they allow their government to just cover
it up and stay silent?
America needs to wake up and start asking why so many of their fellow countrymen died in this way. They should be asking their government a lot of
questions and demanding answers. Anything less is a shameful failure.
