The decision to award the event to Qatar, made in 2010, has attracted plenty of criticism and controversy for a host of reasons, including the timing of when the tournament will take place.
While Qatar's bidding group remains confident the competition can take place in the traditional June/July slot, the stifling heat players and fans will face has led to a FIFA taskforce proposing a number of alternatives.
January/February 2022 and November/December 2022 are set to be proposed - with May also a potential option - after Platini explained on Wednesday that moving the UEFA Champions League's latter stages could be possible to accomodate the World Cup.
"It is not regrettable for me. I don't regret to have voted for Qatar," he told BBC Sport.
"[I] say it is nice to go to winter but I said that before to Qatar.
"I said two things. I said it will be very nice if we can play in winter in Qatar and if it's not only in Qatar but if we have some games in the gulf - Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait City.
"But it is not regrettable that I voted for Qatar."
Platini also reaffirmed his belief that the competition will take place in the cooler months, adding: "It will never be in April, May or June. It will be in winter.
"[Big European clubs] like [April and May] but they are not convinced it is a good moment. They will follow the decision."
