What is the Synonym of "Work package"?

Question

Can anybody suggest me the synonym for Work package (WP). As you know. In project management, we divide our work into different work packages.

I know, I know you are thinking, why the hell, I am not using Work Package itself. And the answer is yes I can't.

I have already thought about step, part, milestone, deliverable. But these words do not fit. Any suggestion ?

I'd need to know more about it. Why can't you use Work Package? It's pretty universal.

You are right. Its a universal word. And I can't use it, Because, I had used it in my report. But my report is integrated in to the main project report. and the main project report is itself a report of a work package. So I have been told by the reviewers to change it in order to avoid confusion.

Well, in PM terminology, that wouldn't matter, to be honest. I think the people giving you the review comments are full of crap.

You could try using "sub-work-package" to make the distinction that it's different, but I'd normally just differentiate based on some subheading. Like, if WP was Work Package in the over-arcing sense, I'd use WP1, WP2, WP3, etc.. for the Work Packages at my sublevel.
