"Update the status of a project": This document outlines the prerequisites for changing a project's status. It explicitly states
"You cannot mark a project Complete if there are incomplete tasks or open issues on the project." This directly supports the error message received by the user and the core problem. (Source: Adobe Experience League

"Overview of Task Status": This article explains the difference between system statuses. It clarifies that statuses like 'New' and 'In Progress' represent incomplete work
whereas the 'Complete' status signifies that the task is finished. This distinction is central to the question
as a task at 100% can still have an 'In Progress' status. (Source: Adobe Experience League

"Edit tasks": In the section detailing task fields
the documentation describes 'Percent Complete' and 'Status' as separate
editable fields. It notes that setting a task's status to 'Complete' automatically sets the 'Percent Complete' to 100%. However
the reverse is not a default behavior; setting 'Percent Complete' to 100% does not automatically change the status to 'Complete'
which is the root cause of the scenario in the question. (Source: Adobe Experience League
