> it should be on plans of the building

But it wasn't.

> The team was at the Historic England Archive poring over some 10,000 uncatalogued documents relating to the palace when they found something interesting: plans for a doorway in the cloister behind Westminster Hall.

> Back at the palace, they found that tiny keyhole in the wood paneling — just where the plan suggested it would be.

The plans existed, were just uncatalogued.
