I agree with you.

Both of them words needs to be used with caution. 

Software = Projects

KDE = community

so KDE is a bunch of software that are glued together by a community, an 
ideal.

I don't know who brought the "end" signification with the use of the 
word "project" but I seriously thing it is over-rated. To me a project is 
something that needs to be built, that needs to be thought through and that 
will, if successful, improve the society. 

It has no means of ending because projects are usually parent of future 
projects that will depend on the finality of the primary one. 

Saying project means an end.. it's like not using the word life because it 
implies death.. which is ridiculous.

Take words for what they are.. not what you want them to mean..
