Abstract
This research addresses the gap concerning the definition and understanding of "urgent projects." The aim is to clarify the conceptual underpinnings and implications of the term "urgent" in project management. Utilizing Lexical Semantic Analysis, the paper investigates various meanings attributed to "urgent." Subsequently, a Systematic Literature Search is conducted, scrutinizing 378 studies and focusing on 65 that are most relevant. Through this methodological framework, the research spans the semantic nuances and practical considerations associated with urgent projects. Results indicate a range of interpretations of urgency, as well as a set of challenges and qualitative aspects critical to managing urgent projects. The paper identifies both inconsistencies and consistencies in the existing academic discourse. Finally, by offering a refined definition and conceptual framework, the study serves as a point of reference for both academic researchers and practitioners.
