Project

Project (pronunciation: /ˈprɒdʒɛkt, -ɪkt/) is a term that originates from the Latin word projectum from the Latin verb proicere, "before an action" which in turn comes from pro-, which denotes priority, something that comes before something else in time (paralleling the Greek πρό) and iacere, "to do". In the medical field, a project often refers to a planned set of interrelated tasks to be executed over a fixed period and within certain cost and other limitations.
