In mathematics a projection is a linear transformation which remains unchanged if applied twice (p(u) = p(p(u))) (in other words, it is idempotent), such as that taking (x, y, z) in three dimensions to (x, y, 0) in the plane or generalisations of this in other dimensions. See orthogonal projection, projection (linear algebra), projection operator.
In cinematography, projection is the display of a movie in a theater using a film projector, which is likely to be replaced by digital projection

The planning, execution and monitoring of major projects sometimes involves setting up a special temporary organization, consisting of a project team and one or more work teams.
The word project comes from the Latin word projectum from projicere, "to throw something forwards" which in turn comes from pro-, which denotes something that precedes the action of the next part of the word in time (paralleling the Greek πρό) and jacere, "to throw".
This use of "project" changed in the 1950s when several techniques for project management were introduced: with this advent the word slightly changed meaning to cover both projects and objects.
