Existence on finite intervals for the projected tangent equation #
We first extend the contracting-iterate Picard argument to all continuous curves on a compact interval. A globally Lipschitz vector field therefore has a solution on the whole prescribed interval, without a small-time assumption. Continuous linear coefficients provide the required bound.

Continuity of the true linear operator follows from the coefficient hypotheses; division is justified by the nonvanishing normal.
The actual projected tangent equation has a solution on the entire finite interval when its coefficients are continuous and its normal never vanishes.
Uniqueness holds for all solutions of equation (27), independent of whether their common initial value is tangent.
On the finite interval, tangency propagates from the left endpoint. No primitive or globally defined solution is assumed.
