In a nutshell:

---
- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false

  vars:

    client:
      - a
      - b

    env:
      - prod
      - preprod

    project: toto

    service: pipo

    read: bingo

  tasks:
    - name: create my path
      debug:
        msg: "{{ item.0 }}_{{ project }}_{{ service }}_{{ item.1 }}_{{ read }}"
      loop: "{{ client | product(env) | list }}"

Gives:


TASK [create my path] *****************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item=['a', 'prod']) => {
    "msg": "a_toto_pipo_prod_bingo"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=['a', 'preprod']) => {
    "msg": "a_toto_pipo_preprod_bingo"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=['b', 'prod']) => {
    "msg": "b_toto_pipo_prod_bingo"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=['b', 'preprod']) => {
    "msg": "b_toto_pipo_preprod_bingo"
}

PLAY RECAP *****************************************************************************
localhost                  : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0

Thks for repply, please can you tell me what is "product" ? I had an issue

TASK [acl-policies : This command will enable secret with specified path] ************************ fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "Invalid data passed to 'loop', it requires a list, got this instead: <itertools.product object at 0x7febd5fb9eb0>. Hint: If you passed a list/dict of just one element, try adding wantlist=True to your lookup invocation or use q/query instead of lookup."}'

You are using ansible < 2.9. I fixed my answer so it works in all cases.
