Explanation:
Tricky, this, but it means lots of bits sticking out in all directions, as opposed to (say) a simple rectangle - for example, if a building has been repeatedly added to over the years.
"Jeu" means "group" or "set".

I normally delete my answer if someone gets in there before me, but you might find this helpful and it's not quite the same as piazza d's version.
Example sentence(s):- In the monuments of the North with their many projections there is much pleasure to be derived from the mere play of light and shade along the buildings.
