Re: Future Tense
Not correct. Should be:
What time will the project be completed?
Future Simple Tense
What time will the project be completed?
Future Simple Tense

Re: Future Tense
Sir,
Here completed is a verb , it's in past participle form . but in future simple tense we use base form of verb.
if "be" is base form of verb. is there any rules to use 'be " as base form of verb. I mean when we use "be" as base form of verb.

Re: Future Tense
Let's keep this simple, and use your original sentence as a statement, not a question. For example:
The project will be completed tomorrow.
But your sentence is not in the active voice. It is passive voice. So we change it to active:
I will complete the project tomorrow.
Now you have WILL + BASE.
Passive voice is BE (in different tenses) + PAST PARTICIPLE, so...
The project will be completed tomorrow.
WILL + BASE BE + PAST PARTICIPLE
Please see:

Passive Voice
The project will be completed tomorrow.
