Project code name

Okay, so sometimes when people want to work on a secret project, they use a different name for it instead of saying the real name. It's like having a secret nickname for yourself that you tell only your friends. This is called a project code name.

It's like when you and your friends play a game together and you give your team a cool name like "Super Squad" or "Incredible Avengers". Similarly, people working on a secret project give that project a name that they only use when they talk about it with each other. This name helps them keep the project a secret until they are ready to reveal it to everyone.

Project code names can be based on anything like animals, colors or even superheroes. But, the most important thing about a project code name is that it should be something that only the people working on the project can understand. This way, nobody else can figure out what the secret project is all about by the name alone.

So, just like how you have a secret team name with your friends, people working on a secret project have their own secret project code name.
