1. c.1400, "a plan, draft, scheme," from L.
projectum "something thrown forth," noun use of neuter of
projectus, pp. of
projicere "stretch out, throw forth," from
pro- "forward" + combining form of
jacere (pp.
jactus) "to throw" (see
jet (v.)). Meaning "scheme, proposal, mental plan" is from 1601. Meaning "group of low-rent apartment buildings" first recorded c.1958, from
housing project (1932).
2. From Latin prōiectus, perfect passive participle of prōiciō (“throw forth, extend; expel”).
