the.com/project
A deadline with a budget attached, pretending to be a plan.
means A planned piece of work with a goal, a timeline, and usually too many stakeholders.
from From Latin proiectum, 'thrown forward' — from proicere (pro- 'forward' + iacere 'to throw'). The same root gives us 'eject' and 'trajectory.' A project, etymologically, is just an idea someone hurled toward the future and hoped would land.
