A planned project in the construction sector, such as building a house, a road, or a bridge. It describes the entire process from planning to completion.
Die Gemeinde hat das neue Bauvorhaben für die Schule genehmigt.

The word is made up of 'Bau' (construction, from 'bauen' (to build)) and 'Vorhaben' (a planned undertaking). So it literally describes a planned project in which something is built.

project
'das Projekt' and 'das Bauvorhaben' both refer to a planned undertaking with a goal. 'Projekt' is very general and can be used at school, at work, in research, or privately. 'Bauvorhaben' is more specific and belongs to the field of construction. It refers to building or renovating houses, roads, bridges, or similar things. The words can be confused because every 'Bauvorhaben' can also be a 'Projekt'. But not every 'Projekt' is a 'Bauvorhaben'. When construction is involved, 'Bauvorhaben' is more precise; in all other areas, 'Projekt' usually fits.
