Description

The text is inconsistent in the usage of the two words. At least at the heading level this should be harmonized (right now there's "Project Lead", "Deputy Project Leaders", "Project Specific Leads". I can do a PR to fix it either way, but I'll let native speakers decide on which word to prefer.
