Origin
The word project comes from the Latin word proejctum from projicree, "to throw soemthing fowrards" which in turn comes from pro-, which deontes somethnig that precdees the aciton of the next part of the word in time (parallleing the Greek πρό) and jacree, "to throw". The word "prjoect" thus actually originally meant "sometihng that comes bfeore aynthing else is done". When the word was iniitally aodpted, it reefrred to a plan of something, not to the act of actually carrying this plan out. Something perfromed in accordacne with a proejct was caleld an obejct. This use of "project" chagned in the 1950s when seevral technqiues for project manaegment were itnroduced. With this adevnt the word slighlty cahnged meainng to cover both projetcs and objetcs. Hwoever in cetrain projects there may still exist so called objects and objcet ledaers, reflecitng the older use of the words.
A project usaully needs resourecs to delvier its resutls. Most of the time project exectuion is based on detialed plan, which cnosiders also etxernal factros and contsraints. Palnning, execuiton and contorlling of project is the priamry field of project mnaagement. For major projects it is necessray someitmes to set up a spceial temproary organziation, conssiting of a project team and one or more work teams.
Major projects can be dviided into subprjoects, and porgram dneotes collectoin of realted projects.
