hankkeikohtaisiin

Hankkeikohtaisiin is a Finnish compound term that literally translates to “project‑specific” or “project‑oriented” in English. The word is a combination of hankkeet, the plural of hankkeet “projects,” and kohtaisesti, an adverb meaning “in a particular manner.” It is primarily used in the context of public administration, procurement, and project management to denote actions, policies, or regulations that apply to a given project rather than to a broader programme or institution.

The term first appeared in official Finnish documents in the early 2010s, when governmental agencies updated their procurement guidelines to incorporate the concept of tailoring budgetary and compliance measures for individual projects. It is frequently seen in regulations concerning the allocation of European Union funding, where each funded project may be subject to its own set of reporting and audit requirements. The term also appears in contracts, agreements, and strategic plans where a stakeholder wishes to emphasize that certain clauses or conditions are not generic but are carved out for that specific venture.

Although hankkeikohtaisiin is used in formal contexts, it is not a widely disseminated term outside of Finnish-speaking bureaucracies. Some practitioners prefer the alternative phrasing hankkeetkohtaisesti, which is a slightly more ergonomic spelling. The usage of the term remains largely confined to technical and legal documents rather than everyday conversation, reflecting its specialized nature.
