Planet's grand projection (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

globe

'planet's' is the definition.
(globe is a kind of planet)

'grand projection' is the wordplay.
'grand' becomes 'g' ('G' can be a synonym of 'grand').
'projection' becomes 'lobe' (I've seen this before).
'g'+'lobe'='GLOBE'

(Other definitions for globe that I've seen before include "Spherical shape" , "Rounded object" , "House 8 [OF SHAKESPEARE]" , "Shakespeare's theatre" , "Representation of earth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
