Bone
A bone projection refers to a bony outgrowth or prominence that extends from the main body of a bone. These projections serve as attachment points for muscles, tendons, and ligaments, helping to stabilize and move the skeleton. Some common examples of bone projections include tubercles, tuberosities, and trochanters.

The bone that makes the posterior point of the elbow is the ulna. The projection at the posterior point of the elbow is called the olecranon process.

The sharp slender process in a human bone is known as a spinous process, also called a neural spine. It is a bony projection that extends off the posterior side of the vertebra, serving as an attachment point for muscles and ligaments.

benign outgrowth of cartilaginous tissue on a bone
A projection on a bone for muscle attachment is a bony prominence or outgrowth that serves as an anchor point for muscles, tendons, or ligaments. These projections, such as tubercles, spines, or processes, increase the surface area for muscle attachment, allowing for better leverage and movement. They play a crucial role in the biomechanics of the skeletal system by facilitating movement and stability.
A tuberacle is a small, rounded projection of a process formed where tendons or ligaments attach.
The medial ankle projection is on the tibia bone. But the medial ankle projection is actually called medial malleolus.

condyle
These terms refer to specific anatomical features found in bones. Foramen is an opening in a bone that allows for the passage of blood vessels and nerves. Process is a projection or bump on a bone that serves as a site for muscle attachment. Tubercle is a small, rounded projection on a bone that also serves as a site for muscle attachment. Facet is a small, smooth, flat surface on a bone that articulates with another bone to form a joint.
A sharp projection from the surface of a bone is called a process. Bones can have different types of processes, such as a spinous process, which is a sharp, pointed projection; or a tuberosity, which is a large, rounded projection. Processes serve as attachment points for ligaments and tendons.
