I had to write a Major Project for one of my majors, and a thesis for the other. BIG DIFFERENCE.

Good point. I remember I used the word "thesis" once and my field instructor got highly offended because HE had to write a thesis for his PhD. The "Master/Major Project" is generally not an original work as you've pointed out.
