I think the project is conducted for the intention X, and as a member I need to know if any other intention is -----.

I think the project is conducted for the intention X, and as a member I need to know if there is any other intention -----.

What word/words to put in the blank. I like to use "involved" or "involved in it". Is it correct to use "involved" without "in it"? In general, which of the above sentences are prefered?

  • The second one seems correct to me. I think the project is conducted for the intention X, and as a member I need to know if there is any other intention. And there is no need to append any word after.

  • I might just say "any other reason for it." It seems more clear to me. In any case, I think I would use for it rather than in it, and wouldn't feel the need to find another verb.

    Referring to my business-study and project-managment, the whole expression sounds weird. One reason: An experiment will be conducted for the purpose of finding out more about..... Another reason: A project has goals and proceeds different stages. In stage 1, you define goals, requirements, risks ect..

    "conducted for the intention X" sounds really weird. It's understandable, but very non-idiomatic. More fluent would be "conducted with the intention of X".

The second option is fine without any word.

The first option could be completed with present or involved, but either way it's a slightly awkward wording. Not incorrect, and not something that would mark someone out as a non-native speaker, but as someone who doesn't have the trick of forming elegant sentences (or at least hasn't applied that trick in this case).
