workaround project
Explanation:
A workaround is a bypass of a recognized problem in a system. A workaround is typically a temporary fix that implies that a genuine solution to the problem is needed. Frequently workarounds are as creative as true solutions, involving outside the box thinking in their creation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workaround


Un workaround ou work-around (avec un trait d’union), anglicisme signifiant littéralement « travail autour », parfois traduit en solution de rechange ou de CONTOURNEMENT 1, est, notamment en informatique, le contournement d’un bug ou d’un problème connu d’un système par une solution temporaire et peu robuste, dans l’attente d’une solution plus conventionnelle.
