Abstract
It has been almost 40 years that the word “PROJECT” appeared in Japan. However, the interpretation has become vague year by year along with that the word has become used widely. One of reasons of vagueness might come from the misunderstanding made in early stage that Project means task force based engineering and construction, since the first book for project introduced in Japan was “Project Engineering of Process Plant ”covers only engineering and construction of, however, being a part of activities to achieve objectives and mission of the project. This speech aims at searching the interpretation of “PROJECT” along with its history as vertical axis, while objectives and mission would be horizontal axis.
