Italian word

progetto

project, plan, design, scheme

Looks like

project

a planned piece of work or undertaking

⚠️ The trap

The meanings overlap well. But 'progetto' in Italian also means an architectural or engineering design/blueprint. 'Il progetto dell'edificio' = the building's design/plans. In English 'project' rarely means the physical blueprints. Also: 'progettare' = to design / to plan.

To say "a planned piece of work or undertaking" in Italian:

progetto (correct)

"progetto" in English means:

project, plan, design, scheme

Example

"Stiamo lavorando a un progetto molto interessante."

"We are working on a very interesting project."
