When placed before a masculine singular noun, 'alguno' contracts to 'algún'.
¿Algún interesante proyecto últimamente?
While adjectives can precede nouns, 'interesante proyecto' sounds less natural here; the usual order is noun + adjective.
¿Algún proyecto interesante último?
'Último' means 'last' (as in final) and does not convey the sense of 'lately'. Use 'últimamente'.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking workplaces, asking about recent projects is a common ice‑breaker and shows genuine interest in the other person’s professional life. Keep the tone friendly but not overly intrusive; if the person is not comfortable sharing details, they may give a brief answer and change the subject.
