Month or Months

Hi,

should it be a six-months project or a six-month project? I have seen both versions being used...

Thanks a lot.

Either: a six-month project or: a six months' project Some may object to the one with an apostrophe as it is very rare in English to have a genitive (months') betweeen an article (a) and the noun the article modifies (project). This is most common in expressions such as a two miles' walk = a two-mile walk. CB
