client work
Tasks for customers
Client work is labor performed for paying customers, as distinguished from internal projects, personal pursuits, or self-directed creative efforts.
The term is common among freelancers, agencies, and consultants: I've been swamped with client work lately.
It often carries a slight connotation of obligation or compromise—work done to someone else's specifications rather than your own vision.
