First of all, what version of Project are you using (e.g. stand alone Project, Project Online, Project for Web, etc.)? Also, is it a current version (e.g. Project 2016, Project 2019, etc.)?
Are you operating the file over a network?
If the file won't open there is a good chance it is corrupt and the possibility of opening it is not good. You could try one thing. Open a new blank project and then try inserting your file into it as a subproject. Does that work?
There are third party application that claim to be able to open damaged Project files but I have no first hand experience so can't recommend any. You could try searching the internet.
