I changed "at" --> "under" and "stick" --> "adhere". Doesn't work. Google finds no results at all.

Let's look at your sentence:
Stick to the plan at any circumstances.
This sounds strange. Let's break it down:
Stick to the plan is fine. Don't change it to adhere – that doesn't sound as good.
At any circumstances sounds strange. Under any circumstances sounds more natural, but it doesn't fit really well with your sentence as a whole.
I would rephrase it like this:
Stick to the plan no matter what happens.
I think this sounds natural enough.

"At any circumstances" sounds extremely non-fluent to this native US English speaker, so much so that I really can't recommend it at all. Google Means finds basically no results for it. I think the best option is probably for the OP to use a different phrase entirely.– stangdonDec 4, 2016 at 17:51

@stangdon I agree. That's why I said the same thing in my answer :-)– user230Dec 4, 2016 at 18:15
Hold to the plan anyhow.
Hold to the plan by any means.
You could use abide to/by as well, but abide to/by the plan doesn't sound great.
