1. \Proj"ect\ (?; 277), n. [OF. project, F. projet, fr. L.
   projectus, p. p. of projicere to project; pro forward +
   jacere to throw. See {Jet} a shooting forth, and cf.
   {Projet}.]
   1. The place from which a thing projects, or starts forth.
      [Obs.] --Holland.
   2. That which is projected or designed; something intended or
      devised; a scheme; a design; a plan.
            Vented much policy, and projects deep. --Milton.
            Projects of happiness devised by human reason.
                                                  --Rogers.
            He entered into the project with his customary
            ardor.                                --Prescott.
   3. An idle scheme; an impracticable design; as, a man given
      to projects.
   Syn: Design; scheme; plan; purpose.
   Usage: {Project}, {Design}. A project is something of a
          practical nature thrown out for consideration as to
          its being done. A design is a project when matured and
          settled, as a thing to be accomplished. An ingenious
          man has many projects, but, if governed by sound
          sense, will be slow in forming them into designs. See
          also {Scheme}.

      the like; -- sometimes with on, upon, into, etc.; as, to
      project a line or point upon a plane. See {Projection}, 4.
