Hello JonathanKine ,
In Office 365 there is the subscription version of the Project Online Desktop client - this is the latest version of the Project desktop tool with all the features including features like:
- Planner Integration (when using Project Online also): https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/project-support-blog/streamline-cross-team-work-with-the-newly-integrated-project/ba-p/362061
- Task Boards: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/use-task-boards-in-microsoft-project-online-desktop-client-1b9b44d7-fd8e-4b3b-ab94-2b97deb9945b
Project Online Desktop is included with Project Plan 3 license or above, see this link for details: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/project/microsoft-project-licensing
In Office 365 there is also the Project Online service - Project Server but in the Office 365 cloud.
