Projects
City Projects are produced directly by a city, using its civics output per year. Projects are located within the city center tile and affect the overall yields of the city (in contrast to Improvements, which are built by Worker units on the map). The effects of completing a project may vary depending on nation and Archetypes of the Leader & Governor of the city. Most projects have stronger variants for every cultural level. Some projects are freely repeatable, others are permanent and cannot be produced again in the same city until it reaches the next cultural level.
Permanent projects
Permanent projects can only be done once. When a city reaches the next cultural level, it may produce the stronger variant of the project, replacing the effects of the previous one (i.e., when completing Treasury II a city gains a net of +10 per year).
Treasury
Treasury projects are mainly used to increase the city's money output. If playing as Babylonia, every treasury project also provides +2 per year in the city. If adopted Professional Army law, every treasury project also provides +2 per year.

Some unique projects cannot be enabled through the technology tree, but rather through certain Events.
