In contemporary business and science, a project is an individual or collaborative enterprise, possibly involving research or design, which is carefully planned, usually by a project team, to achieve a particular goal. A project can also be a set of interrelated tasks that will be executed over a fixed period and within certain costs and other constraints. It can be a temporary social system (rather than permanent) as work systems that are made up of teams within or between organizations to perform particular tasks under time constraints. A project can be part of a broader program management.
The word project comes from the Latin word projectum of the Latin verb proicere, "before an action" which in turn comes from pro, which denotes precedence, something that comes before something else in time (parallel to Greek πρό) and iacere " what to do". The word "project" originally meant "before an action".
When the English language initially adopted the word, it referred to a plan of something, not to the act of actually carrying this plan out. Something done according to a project became known as an "object". Each project has certain stages of development.
