What is the definition of Provided Project?

A 'provided project' is like a magician's trick where someone hands you a card with a question on it and says, "I've got the answer, but you didn't ask for it!" It's basically a gift, but it might just leave you scratching your head for days.

Example sentence: "After my 'provided project' to bake a dozen cupcakes for the office, I realized my boss was actually asking me to write a book on existential dread in the confetti-filled wedding cake."
