I read through your stuff and I'm a bit stumped to understand what
your problem actually is. :) Could you explain why you need to
classify these projects? Are you creating a next iteration of that
website and want to come up with something better (because of the
number of projects involved)?

If so, I'd go with facetted classification, in which you classify your
projects with a number of parameters, and create a simple navigation
means to resolve to what people want. All you need to do is to find
the various parameters (roadside safety, highways it affects,
counties, people, funding models, etc.)

But as I said, I'm keen to understand why you want to classify things
; what do you want to achieve?


Kind regards,

Alexander
