Hi Valentina bvg92, the procedure depends on whether it is with Project Online or with Project Server. If it is Project Server, you can move the content databases from one repository to another and in this way you can have another project space that you can consider historical.
If it is Project Online, it is recommended to create an ETL that can download this information to a local SQL server.

Similarly, these two options should be reviewed well. Because there is third-party software that allows this to be done but logically has a higher cost.

Regards.

Julio Cesar Barrera Giraldo thanks for your response...
We are currently using Project Online, and teams stored a lot of files that we don't want to loose, so I'm trying to evaluate the best way to decommission the projects but still keep the files available.

  bvg92 , We as consultants in this regard suggest that users create an ETL to download this information and always keep it. Not only would ETL serve you data for SharePoint sites, but you can store historical KPIs by project and many more features. This ETL can be on an SQL server on premises or on an Azure server.
