Since Jesus addresses his question in 14:28 to the whole crowd, his illustration envisions all of them, so the term man here may be generic. Alternate translation: “This person”

and
The word and introduces a contrast between what the man planned to do and what he failed to do in the end. Alternate translation: “but”
