working name
Draft project label
A working name is a provisional title or designation used during development, expected to change before completion or release.
Films, products, and projects often operate under working names to maintain secrecy or simply because a final name hasn't been chosen: The film's working name was "Blue Harvest" to avoid attention.
Sometimes a working name sticks and becomes permanent.
