A skunkworks project is a project developed by a small and loosely structured group of people who research and develop a project primarily for the sake of radical innovation.
It is an especially enriched environment that is intended to help a small group of individuals design a new idea by escaping routine organizational procedures. The research and development (R&D) workers in a skunkworks are usually specially selected, given special resources, and work on a crash basis to create an innovation.
What if there is no managerial approval, and one individual embarks on a (legal) project during their own time, in secret (since there is no formal approval) with the intent of bringing about radical innovation?
Is there a name for such a project?
Some successful examples would be interesting.

A skunkworks project implies a team taken out of formal structures, but still with some form of oversight within an organisation.
If you are doing things on your own time, that would be called a "personal project".
Makes sense. "Personal project" though suggests something unrelated to the main business, and not sanctioned either as was Google's now defunct 20% time.

Are you officially getting time off for this project, or are you doing it in your own time?
– user9158

Own time, as mentioned.
– Dan Dascalescu
Nov 28 '14 at 3:58
Well, then it is just a "personal project". It might be beneficial to the company, it might not. They have no vested interest if it fails, maybe not even if it works.

Look at it like this, if I do unpaid work on my own time that might help the Army, I don't get to call it a "military project" or call myself a "defence contractor". If the people you are doing it for aren't sanctioning it, then using a term that suggests they do is dishonest and has potential legal implications.
