Projektiert

Projektiert is the past participle of the German verb projektieren and is used to indicate that something has been designed, engineered, or planned in detail as part of a project. The term is common in professional contexts such as architecture, engineering, urban planning, and IT.

Etymology and scope: Projektieren derives from Projekt (project) with the -ieren suffix. The related noun Projektierung refers to the process of planning and designing. Projektiert therefore signals a completed design stage or a document that has undergone detailed planning.

Usage in practice: In architectural and construction language, it marks the phase after initial concepts and before execution. Example: Die Pläne wurden projektiert und liegen der Behörde zur Genehmigung vor. In IT and systems engineering, it can indicate that the system architecture has been drafted.

Relation to other planning terms: Projektierung denotes the overall planning process, including feasibility, specifications, and budgeting; Entwurf refers to an initial design concept; Ausführung describes implementation. Projektiert thus often sits between concept and implementation as a status.

Regional and style notes: The term is widespread in German-speaking countries and tends to appear in formal documentation, tendering, and contract language. It is less common in everyday speech and can be unfamiliar to readers outside technical fields.
