Accorto provides three presentation types of project selection. Which of the options you choose depends on the number of projects you have, their life cycle and longevity as well as your sharing settings.
Check also the Project Mode setup details.
Here we assume you use Project and Project Lines (the deliverables).
Here how it looks in the Salesforce Classic UI:

You have the option to overwrite the Project Mode for the Capture Time from Case.
If you have groups of people with different access needs, you can set up profiles e.g. for support staff with access to all projects/lines and consultants who work only on allocated project lines.
