    Solution

    The segment "Having finishing the project" contains a grammatical error. The correct phrase should be "Having finished the project." The word "finishing" should be replaced with "finished" to correctly form the perfect participle phrase "Having finished," which indicates that the action was completed before presenting the findings.
