What would I call a program that was developed specifically for a company?

Question

I am looking for a word that can describe a program I developed for a company, as opposed to a program I would create for a school assignment or for fun. I've written "paid programming task" and "practical program", but it doesn't sound so good and the latter is quite ambiguous.

The answer depends on the sentence you're using, but there are a few ways to say what you mean.
Software used and developed within an organization is often called either in-house or proprietary software, as opposed to shrink-wrapped of off-the-shelf software.
Work done to develop software for a client is often called contract work, and is clearly distinguished from school assignments, side projects or pet projects.
