    Hello,

     

    Project Online is a feature built in SharePoint Online, Project Online consists of 2 features for end users to interact with the data, Project Online Desktop and Project Web App (PWA). Project Online Desktop works with Project Online and is the desktop tool for creating and editing projects. PWA is the web interface for Project Online that also enables users to create / edit projects etc., this is the SharePoint site collection. It's a special SharePoint Online site collection that whilst it is SharePoint it has it's own access model. There are two options, the default SharePoint permission mode or the Project permission mode. Here is a really quick getting started guide: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/projectonline/get-started-with-project-online 

    Data created in Project Online such as Projects are stored in the Project Online tables inside the SharePoint Online content database.

    Hope that helps

    Paul
