Actually the plan was (at least from Madara’s point of view) to revive Madara. When Obito told the eye of the moon plan at the 5 kage summit he couldn’t mention that he is planning on riviving Madara because at the time everybody believed that he was Madara.

Also Obito’s excuse for Madara’s EDO revival was that Nagato betrayed them(he was supposed to revive Madara).

What i find particular interesting is that Obito knew that Madara will be revived by Kabuto (in a more overpowered version with mokuton and rinnegan) and had no objection.

So it’s still a difficult situation to adress whenever Obito wanted Madars to be revived or not. Perhaps Obito wanted Madara to come back and aid him in the war, but also wanted to be him the one who pulls off IT.
