Morphology
fuckity + project
The head noun 'project' is transparent, but the modifier 'fuckity' is nonstandard slang (apparently derived from 'fuck' + a noun-forming/pejorative suffix) rather than a regular lexical item a B1 learner would reliably know. A learner familiar with 'fuck' might infer a negative/pejorative sense and guess the phrase refers to a troublesome or lousy project, but the informal formation and unpredictable nuance mean the exact meaning is not fully derivable.
Etymology
Fuckity project may come from people using the swear fuck to show strong anger at a job that keeps going wrong. The picture is of someone saying fuck again and again while fixing broken parts, so the phrase came to mean 'a project that is very frustrating or full of problems'.
