Pro card player's inspired about project (8)
I believe the answer is:
forecast
'project' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'pro card player's inspired' is the wordplay.
'pro' becomes 'for' (I've seen this before).
'card' becomes 'c' (this might be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'player' becomes 'east' (in bridge, players are named after compass points).
'inspired' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters have been inspired or breathed in).
'c' put within 'east' is 'ecast'.
'for'+'ecast'='FORECAST'
'about' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for forecast that I've seen before include "Predict as with weather" , "Prophesy" , "Prophecy" , "Meteorological surmise perhaps" , "Expect" .)
