Keep engineering projects assigned year-prefixed, incrementing project numbers

Engineering teams create projects without consistent IDs, causing traceability gaps and duplicate numbers at year rollover. It assigns year-prefixed incrementing project numbers and updates status.

Overview

Engineering projects lose traceability and create audit headaches when IDs drift at year boundaries. This workflow standardizes year-prefixed, incrementing project numbers and updates creation status so project managers always have auditable, unique identifiers. Teams report fewer manual numbering errors and smoother handoffs.
