I read recently in a history book on my local town how the origin of this word came to be. After World War II, the returning soldiers (who left as boys & returned as young men) wanted to get married, have children (hence the baby boomers) and have a house of their own. However, up until this time the economy was tanked due to the great depression, and house construction pretty much was at a stand-still due to the massive amount of men who were away at war. When they returned, there was a HUGE demand for housing, and so housing authorities were formed to figure out ways to supply houses for them. So, initially, these houses were meant as low income houses for veterans. Eventually as the veterans moved away, we ended up with what today is low income housing. The word "Projects" actually came from the housing authorities, as the first set was referred to as "The Project"
The housing authority is working on building low income houses, and the first of these "projects" is set to be built next year.

When you start working on a project, loose motivation for it (even though in many cases you don't like admitting loosing motivation for it) so you just start working on something completely different and convince yourself to come back to your other projects in a later future (even though most times this won't happen and you'll just end up making the project die).
Mike: Wasn't Mark writing that book about flowers?
John: Oh no, he project++ed it a few days ago to work on his other book about felines.
David: Sean is a hardcore project++er, he's got like 40 unfinished projects.
