They're trying to rationalize the internal work order program and, whit that, the possible inputs for Customer reference data: Project name, type of Industry, plant Location, Engineering and End-User companies, etc...
This would mean to amend the data resulting from many years of uncontrolled data entry (containing also typing errors, mismatches, blanks and so on), with both paper archive and internet search work.
Lots of projects in the world.  I would assume you would at least need a minimum capital cost criteria.  The DBs I've seen all tend to be industry specific. 
I would refer to the "official" names the Engineering (and/or End-User) companies give to the gate valve projects, without regard for the dimension (at the moment): so a project could be a new plant, a line doubling, the construction of one or more new trains of an existing LNG terminal, the expansion of an existing oil field, but also a set of debottlenecking, revamping or improvement operations.
The time window could be the last 20 years (just to give an idea); no geographical area in particular.
The purpose should be to re-organize our historical registry data and to provide guidance to input the new ones in a ordered, methodical way (in order to minimize errors and obtain a "searchable" Sales database)...
