The word is a simple compound of 'Projekt' (project) and 'Gruppe' (group). So it describes a group of people who work together on a specific project.

Common verbs used in connection with 'Projektgruppe' (project group) are 'eine Projektgruppe bilden' or 'gründen' (to form/found a project group), 'in einer Projektgruppe arbeiten' (to work in a project group), and 'eine Projektgruppe leiten' (to lead a project group).

This term is used mainly in professional or university settings. It emphasizes that the collaboration is limited in time and works toward a concrete goal.

team
'das Team' and 'die Projektgruppe' both refer to people who work together. 'Team' is more general and can be used for many kinds of cooperation, including long-term cooperation. 'Projektgruppe' is more specific: it works on a particular project, usually only for a limited time. The goal is clearly defined. Learners may confuse the words because a project group is often also a team. If you only want to emphasize working together, 'Team' fits. If it is specifically about a particular project, 'Projektgruppe' is more precise.
