The word is made up of 'Forschung' (research) and 'Projekt' (project). The 's' in between is a linking element that connects the two words. So the meaning is literally a 'project of research.'

study
A Studie is the scientific investigation itself, while a Forschungsprojekt (research project) refers to the planned, time-limited undertaking within which such an investigation may take place. When talking about the specific investigation, Studie is the better choice; when the focus is on the undertaking’s planning, duration, and process, Forschungsprojekt is more appropriate.
