I have said nothing about “Plan B.”

Men like Abraham followed God joyously within the sin-laden world Adam and Eve left behind and without the Law. Noah came along and, despite the cleansing flood, sin still abounded. Maybe the flood was another “plan” (B?) that didn't clean the world as it should have. As Genesis 6:5–7 says, “The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the LORD said, ‘I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.’”

Man failed God, man continued to fail God despite the Law, with which the Law was likely “Plan C.”

Each time, until Christ, we are told that God is saddened and regrets what He did or allowed to happen. So, no, God did not get what He demanded nor was He happy when Man kept sinning. God's Will keeps going unmet by Man not now glorifying God through following Christ.

God wants all to follow God, without exception, but He continues to not get what He wants. There are many examples of this in Scripture.

You talk as if God is not omniscient.
