The idea of a Research Project is to tackle a topic borrowed from research frontiers (such as from recently published in journal articles) while spending more time on researching literature, doing computation, and compiling a report than it is usually required for simple homework problems. When you have enough results to tell a coherent story, you should end the Research Project by writing (in a clear writing style, obeying the rules of grammar and spelling) and submitting a Report. The Report should be understandable to a person who has not done the assignment.
