How can I redirect specific parts of a URL to a new URL using htaccess?

In building a new site I need to restructure some of the links, and I need to redirect the old links to the new links. I have only a few, and are as follows:

about|what-we-do => about-us
contact => get-in-touch
our-work|projects => featured-work

I want to be able to keep anything they put after those links, also. For example, I'd like the redirects to be like this:

our-work/web/project-title => featured-work/web/project-title

This is what I have in my htaccess file at this point, which doesn't work.

RewriteRule ^(about|what-we-do)(/)?  /about-us/$1      [QSA,NC,L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^contact(/)?             /get-in-touch/$1  [QSA,NC,L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(our-work|projects)(/)? /featured-work/$1 [QSA,NC,L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^about-us(/)?$           /pg.about.php     [QSA,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^get-in-touch(/)?$       /pg.contact.php   [QSA,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^featured-work(/)?$      /pg.projects.php  [QSA,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^hello(/)?$              /pg.hello.php     [QSA,NC,L]

If I try and visit something like /about then I'm redirected to /about-us/about/. I'm not well-versed in htaccess. So, if anyone is able to help me, it would be much appreciated. I'll keep plugging away at it. Thanks in advance!

Your rules are not capturing URI part after first slash. You can use:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(?:about|what-we-do)(/.*)?$  /about-us$1 [NC,L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^contact(/.*)?$               /get-in-touch$1 [NC,L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(?:our-work|projects)(/.*)?$ /featured-work$1 [NC,L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^about-us/?$           /pg.about.php     [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^get-in-touch/?$       /pg.contact.php   [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^featured-work/?$      /pg.projects.php  [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^hello/?$              /pg.hello.php     [NC,L]
