I interpret a project as an outcome with a deadline. So if you had to buy a car by or on a given date, that would be a project.
A goal relates to an "area of focus" where you want an outcome but there is no firm deadline, like getting better at a sport. It would typically be a recurring task, like practicing exercises. The timescale may vary, and MLO handles this very well with weekly, monthly or yearly goals. For more, google Thiago Forte's PARA system, and Carl Pullein. There are many approaches to these concepts and it is confusing.
