project:

. . . in general, a managed undertaking aimed at satisfying specifications, requirements, stipulations, criteria, or other expressed wants and needs typically set within a designated timeframe. A quote in a Wikipedia article about project management states that a project is a . . . temporary endeavor with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by funding or deliverables), undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives. Wikipedia also quotes the Oxford English Dictionary as follows … (projects are) typically defined as a collaborative enterprise, frequently involving research or design, that is carefully planned to achieve a particular aim (source of quote).
