To add to the what's been said already, we went with manoth_msft approach during our Office 365 ProPlus rollout and it worked well. This allowed us to use our Volume Licensing with Click-to-run installing Project/Visio 2016 alongside Office 365 ProPlus Office 2016 version.

Here is an example xml setup for this configuration:

<Configuration>
    <Add OfficeClientEdition="32" Channel="Deferred">
        <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
            <Language ID="en-us"/>
        </Product>
        <Product ID="VisioProXVolume">
            <Language ID="en-us"/>
        </Product>
        <Product ID="ProjectProXVolume">
            <Language ID="en-us"/>
        </Product>
    </Add>
    <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE"/>
</Configuration>

Having to use a MAK setup wasn't ideal at first, having to meet the minimum amount of units but it worked fine in the end.
