Meaning of 项目
Definitions from CC-CEDICT.

How to use 项目
项目 is used for work projects, items on a list, and events in a sports competition. It is very common in business and school settings. Example: 我们公司在做一个新项目。(Wǒmen gōngsī zài zuò yí gè xīn xiàngmù.) Our company is working on a new project.
项 (xiàng) means an item or a term in a list, and 目 (mù) is an eye, also used for an entry in a list or catalog. Picture your eye running down a list and stopping at each 项 item: each one is a 项目.
Common mistake: Learners often mix up 项目 with 节目 (jiémù). 节目 is a show or program on TV, radio, or stage, while 项目 is a project or a sports event. Also keep the fourth tone on 项 (xiàng). It is not the third tone of 想 (xiǎng).
