◇ What is the main objective of this project?

goal - sth important that you hope to achieve in the future, even if it may take a long time: ◇ He continued to pursue his goal of becoming an actor.

A target is usually officially recorded, for example by an employer or by a government committee.

People often set their own objectives: these are things that they wish to achieve, often as part of a project or a talk they are giving. Goals are often long-term, and relate to people's life and career plans or the long-term plans of a company or organisation. Aim can be somebody's aim or the aim of something.
