| Jan 4, 2014 at 16:45 | comment | added | Damkerng T. | I believe that you might probably want to write A Report on X, Y, and Z, for P. If I have to choose the preposition in this specific usage, on is probably the best choice (I don't know what are those X, Y, and Z), then of, and then about. Hope this helps. Also, wait for a few more hours, there are many native speakers around here that can sort this issue out for you. | |

| Jan 4, 2014 at 16:39 | comment | added | Damkerng T. | Do you want to actually use the word "Projects"? Or is it a placeholder for some specific project name? | |
