The term 'ongoing' can be described by a variety of words, including 'CONTINUOUS' (10 letters), 'PROGRESSIVE' (11 letters), 'developing' (10 letters), 'PROGRESSING' (11 letters), 'CONTINUING' (10 letters), 'GROWING' (7 letters), 'CURRENT' (7 letters), 'ADVANCING' (9 letters), 'ACTIVE' (6 letters), and 'CHRONIC' (7 letters). These words all refer to something that is in a state of continual change or development, often over a long period of time. For example, an ongoing project might involve a series of steps that are continually being worked on and improved upon. Similarly, an ongoing process might involve a series of steps that are continually being repeated and refined. In either case, the idea is that the activity is not static, but rather is constantly evolving and PROGRESSING.
