FALSE !!!   project definition phase is to set clear project goal(s), so-called SMART goal(s), together with requirements or specifications in terms of scope, schedule, and budget so start and end date is cleary descibed. A project is any endeavor which is unique :  A) Scope: the endeavor will create a precisely specified product consisting of deliverables and service, B) Schedule: there are clearly defined beginning and end date and C) Budget: the budget for creating those deliverables and services is limited.

Quoted from International Project Management Association (IPMA): IPMA Competence Baseline, Version 3.0 (ICB 3.0), 2006.

A project is an endeavor that produces a clearly specified product, service, or result in a limited period of time within a limited budget.

STRONGLY  FALSE....Kindly  back to PMP definition of Project which has to be ,     

A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope and resources.

And a project is unique in that it is not a routine operation,

 

Yes its a false.. A project start with formal document called project initiation document which involve all activities like time, quality, scope, budget, project deadlines, roles and responsibilities of those who are assign to the project and many more. As mention above every project end with agreed date mention in the project initiation document.
