Usage of appositive phrases

You should work on short term projects, mainly the ones that produce fast results.

Now, the mentioned short term projects can be a wide range of different projects, practically anything that is short term, but I want to recommand the ones that produce fast results.

Are the bolded parts grammatically correct usages of appostive phrases? Anything wrong with punctuations?

Can appositive phrases be used to add more information instead of explaining or identifying?

Thanks in advance.

Just to double check, in the first sentence, I do not mean that short term projects are mostly/mainly projects that produce fast results. I mean that the person should consider short term projects that does produce fast results. Should I put "the" in front of short term projects then even though I mean "any" short term projects that produce fast results?

No, and you can eliminate the other 'the' in that sentence, too.

My very first sentence by itself in the original post does not mean short term projects are mainly/mostly ones that produce fast results, right?
