I agree taking on the project sounds natural, but I like the added nuance with "tackling the project" as an active participation, assuming the project is challenging and thus like tackling or dealing with or taking on a problem or an issue or a "project".

This may sound a bit formal, but you can easily modify it, depending on the context and the register used in the rest of the text.
