| project kick-off versus project initiation They mean the same. Explanation: The meaning is the same, but the register is different. "Kick-off" is an allusion to football. The game is initiated by kicking a stationary football toward the opposing team. The register is informal, vernacular. "Initiation" is standard English. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2015-09-23 21:54:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another idiomatic expression with the same meaning is "product launch". Incidentally, there is nothing peculiar to the medical field in any of these expressions. That is, they have no special or distinct meaning in the medical context. |
