Soft deletes a project. The project will be marked as deleted (archived) but not permanently removed from the database.

**What happens:**
- The project is marked as archived
- It will no longer appear in active project lists
- Historical data (tasks, time bookings, etc.) is preserved
- The project can be viewed in archived projects if needed

**Note:** This is a soft delete operation. The project data remains in the database for historical reporting and audit purposes.
