I have some question about [this](http://www.mercurynews.com/education/ci_26666181/san-jose-states-costly-high-tech-upgrade-cisco):  

>At a time of tremendous financial pressure for the university and its students, campus leaders bought some of the flashiest classroom, conference room and office equipment available. ***The Next Generation Technology Project -- built mostly by San Jose-based Cisco Systems***, a major university donor -- boasts thousands of videophones costing nearly $400 each, two-way conferencing to beam in experts on giant screens, and systems to record, transcribe and broadcast lectures.   

How is a "*project*" built?  A project is an activity (doing something) and cannot be "*built*".  Could the example be an usage error?
