From the ESD Guide:
Projection
The company is required to apply for a projection on expatriates it plans to hire for the current year. The projection is based on the number of expatriates it has identified, including existing expatriates for renewals and also new hires. If the numbers under the projection requested for the year has been fully utilised, the company may then request for new projection with the appropriate justification. The charter time for a decision on the projection request is 5 working days.
Position
If the position applied for is currently not in the system, the company will need to submit a position request. The charter time for adding a new position is 5 working days.
