A project is a task that requires a lot of time and effort.

A project is a detailed study of a subject by a pupil or student.

If something is projected, it is planned or expected.

If you project someone or something in a particular way, you try to make people see them in that way. If you project a particular feeling or quality, you show it in your behaviour.

If you project feelings or ideas on to other people, you imagine that they have the same ideas or feelings as you.

If you project a film or picture onto a screen or wall, you make it appear there.

If something projects, it sticks out above or beyond a surface or edge.
