greenfieldprojekt


Explanation:
The definition of a "greenfield project": "a project that lacks any constraints imposed by prior work. The analogy is to that of construction on greenfield land where there is no need to remodel or demolish an existing structure."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenfield_project

As far as I know, this is how the term is used in Sweden as well (and other countries). I would say "greenfieldprojekt," but maybe others prefer with a hyphen (it's used both ways in these sources).



Example sentence(s):
  • Det är det största greenfield-projektet i Sverige just nu
  • Världens snabbaste greenfieldprojekt
