To me, projects in math usually meant trying to apply it to model something or understand something/answer some question by finding a solution.
But that may be because my education always put the pure math and applications in close proximity.

Eg Galois theory kind of looks like this: Applying an abstract model of symmetry to a model of polynomials to answer a question about solvability.
