project ideas
Plans for undertakings
Project ideas are concepts or proposals for undertakings that might be pursued—potential plans not yet realized.
The phrase appears constantly in creative and professional contexts: I keep a notebook of project ideas, We're brainstorming project ideas for the quarter.
Unlike a project itself, project ideas exist in a generative, uncommitted state—possibilities waiting to be selected, developed, or abandoned.
