When I started the Project Application Service, I was receiving the following error:
The password for the account [User] currently stored in SharePoint is not the same as current password for the Account in Active Directory. To fix this with Powershell, run Set-SPManagedAccount - UseExistingPassword.
The message also provides the resolution. So as stated, we opened the SharePoint Management Shell: Navigate to Start > Program Files > Microsoft SharePoint > SharePoint Management Shell and type the command.
Set-SPManagedAccount -UseExistingPassword
It asks for Identity and Password. Enter the ManagedAccount UserID and Password and start the service again. You should be fine.
If you are still reading this, may be you're not.
When we restarted the service, we came across another Error message.
This Project Web App instance is unavailable because there are no Project Application Service instances started to service this request. Contact the administrator to check that at least one Project Application Service instance is enabled on this farm.
For this just check the AppPool and start all the stopped App Pools.
Start > Administrative Tools > IIS > Application Pool (in the left navigation)
PS: I was using Microsoft SharePoint 2010
