MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with multiple signatures. Static analysis detected VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, indicating an attempt to automatically execute code upon opening. The document body, presented as a project proposal, likely serves as a lure to trick the user into enabling macros. The presence of a Document_Open macro strongly suggests the intent to download and execute a second-stage payload.
