Morphology

outdoor + project

The meaning 'a task carried out outside' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'outdoor' (related to activities outside) with 'project' (planned piece of work). This adjective + noun composition follows a standard, cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

Outdoor project comes from a very simple picture: outdoor means 'outside' and project means a planned 'task', so imagine people building a garden or fixing a playground in the open air. So, it means a task done outside.
