What differs, and by how much

Different everyday word The two terms share no characters at all. In Taiwan the standard term is 專案; on the Mainland it is 项目 - both point at “project”.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 專案、項目 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.

项目 is HSK 4 vocabulary on the HSK 3.0 list.

Pair source: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
