Hi,

Check this thread http://pmzilla.com/customer-verses-sponsorer-verses-owner - Sponsor is different from customer and he is internal to delivering organization. 

Any stakeholder can request change. It will go through change management process. meaning it will be evaluated. 

 

Work Package and Planning Package have following differences.

Work Package Planning Package
It’s a lowest level element of work breakdown structure, further decomposition will not be done beyond this level It’s also a lowest element at a given point of time but at later stage it will get decomposed into work packages
Work packages are planned by way of identifying activities under them, they are the primary input to identify activities process Planning Packages are decomposed into work package or they get converted into work package when we get more visibility of the work, planning package will not have activities under them
