prettygoodwordcharrette (shuh-RET) - n., a final, intensive effort to finish a project (esp. an architectural design) before a deadline.
Though also used in other fields, such as agile software development. Can also be used for a collaborative brainstorming meeting for a project. How the French word for cart came to mean this is an interesting question, but the usual story is that the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris would collect student drawings in a cart, with students jumping on to make last-moment corrections en charrette.
