このプロジェクトは短期的な利益を優先している。

Often used in business, finance, and project planning contexts to contrast with 長期的 (long-term).
短期的 (short-term) and 長期的 (long-term) are antonyms often used together in business or planning contexts. For example: 「短期的な利益と長期的な成長のバランスを取る」 (Balance short-term profits with long-term growth).
短期的 is always used as a na-adjective (形容動詞) and requires な before nouns, e.g., 「短期的な計画」 (short-term plan).
短期 (short term) + 的 (adjectival suffix). The term combines 短 (short) and 期 (period) with the suffix 的, which turns nouns into adjectives.
Used in formal contexts such as business reports, academic writing, and policy documents. Avoid using in casual conversation unless discussing schedules or plans.
