Typical verbs used in connection with a construction project are 'planen' (to plan), 'starten' (to start), 'leiten' (to manage), 'umsetzen' (to implement), or 'genehmigen' (to approve).

project
'das Projekt' and 'das Bauprojekt' both mean a planned undertaking with a goal. 'Projekt' is general and can be almost any larger planned undertaking, for example at school, at work, or in your free time. 'Bauprojekt' is a specific type of project: it is about building or remodeling something, such as a house, a road, or a bridge. The words are easy to confuse because a construction project is always also a project. But a project does not have to have anything to do with construction. When it is about construction work, 'Bauprojekt' is more precise.
