Make sure you include your MS Project outputs in the document or submit your MS Project file along with your paper.

Try to structure your project so that all the tasks do not run at the same time.

In your paper you should discuss each of the concepts required for the project and not just the project itself; meaning, you should discuss concepts we learned about in the class and then explain how you addressed them.

Make sure you have incorporated some type of project budget into your MS Project file; which could be done by budgeting labor.

You should also assign resources to each task and plan those resources so it is clear what each person assigned to the project is doing.
