Learn Italian: Il progetto scientifico ha superato le crisi. - The scientific project has overcome the crises.

Crisi is a feminine noun of Greek origin that ends in -i. Nouns in this group are invariable, meaning their spelling doesn't change in the plural. You know it means the plural 'the crises' rather than the singular 'the crisis' because of the plural definite article le instead of la.

Why does superato use ha (from avere) instead of è (from essere)?

The verb superare (to overcome, to pass) is a transitive verb here, meaning it takes a direct object. You can ask 'what did the project overcome?' and the answer is le crisi. In Italian, transitive verbs always take avere to form compound past tenses like this one.

Why does the adjective scientifico come after the noun progetto?

Descriptive adjectives in Italian usually follow the noun they modify. Placing scientifico directly after progetto categorizes the noun, specifying exactly what type of project it is to distinguish it from, say, an artistic or financial project.
