It's pretty self explanatory, the number of planes in your map is greater than or equal to the maximum amount of planes you're allowed to have. This limit is defined in the compiling tools and is there to prevent unexpected results (engine bugs/glitches) associated with having a lot of planes in your map.

You'll have to simplify your geometry and make sure you're building efficiently so you're not creating excess polygons.
