   3. An idle scheme; an impracticable design; as, a man given
      to projects.
      [1913 Webster]

   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}.
