projektowany

Projektowany is a Polish adjective derived from the verb projektować, which means to design or to plan. It describes something that has been designed or planned as part of a project, rather than created spontaneously. The term is commonly used in fields such as architecture, engineering, product development, and software to indicate intentional, pre-defined characteristics of a thing, for example a projektowany system (designed system) or projektowana trasa (planned route).

Etymology and grammar: The word is built from the noun projekt (project) with the suffix -ować to form the verb projektować, and the participle stem projekt- yields the adjective projektowany. Like other Polish adjectives, its form changes to agree with the noun’s gender and number: masculine singular projektowany, feminine singular projektowana, neuter singular projektowane; plural forms include projektowani (masculine personal) and projektowane (others).

Usage notes: In technical and planning contexts, projektowany emphasizes deliberate design and alignment with project requirements. It can indicate that a feature or system is in the design phase or that a product is intended for a specified purpose. In everyday language, it may simply mean “designed” or “intended,” depending on context.
