In Brazilian corporate culture, 'projetos adicionais' are common as companies often expand scope mid-execution. In the USA, especially in tech and startups, these are frequently referred to as 'side projects' or 'add-ons' and are integrated into agile workflows. In Portugal, the term reflects more formal project management practices influenced by European standards.
