"work in process"?
or "working process"?
Also, is there a phrase "work in progress" or likewise "working progress". I can't remember which is which and what is what. I'd appreciate all help. Thank you.

"work in progress" is a common set phrase referring to an activity or task that is as yet unfinished. "work in process" is a specialist or technical phrase meaning partly finished goods in a company's production system. As far as I know, it is not used in general everyday English, and would look like an error for the above if used outside its usual context.
