- At “Association Workflow” Column, check the corresponding workflow name for your Enterprise Project Type.
- Open this workflow with SharePoint Designer, to check if it has any errors or not, then try to republish it again.
Also, as a kind of investigation, try to
- Create a simple Project workflow and associate it with the current “Enterprise Project Type”.
- Now, create a new project with this “Enterprise Project Type” that has the new workflow.
- If the project has been created successfully, so the issue is related to your old workflow.
Check Project Site Template
It’s also recommended to avoid the heavy customization for the project site template and its build-in lists like issue and risk lists. So if you already have a customized site template, try to use the default one and check if your issue is solved or not!

net stop WorkflowServiceBackend
net start WorkflowServiceBackendRegister Workflow Manager Service
Make sure that the SharePoint Workflow Manager Service has been registered successfully as mentioned at Register-SPworkflowservice unable to connect to the remote service at Workflow Manager 2016.

- Register-SPWorkflowService: Timeout Issue.
