Littlefinger is Lord of Harrenhall&Lord Paramount of the Riverlands, but he hasn’t done anything in regard to that. The Iron Throne is enforcing the fealty of his subjects&sorting out the chaos in his castle&on his lands. Why is Cersei okay with having to take care of his domain for him? He doesn’t even try to establish his power there, all he has is a title, he shirks his responsibilities, but also the benefits. So what is his plan here?

LF knows that Harrenhal is a poisoned chalice, so hasn’t used it as anything other than a stepping stone to get himself in range of marrying Lysa so he could get his hands on the Vale. 

As for why Cersei’s ok with it, well, it allows her to have her cake and eat it too – the Lannisters get Littlefinger’s loyalty (at least on the surface), but can keep giving Harrenhal to their other followers (Gregor, etc.).
