English translation:in which XYZ has an interest/a stake

Explanation:
English is not so compact in this case... "participado al 100%" would be wholly owned, but unless you know that to be the case, "owned" is going to far... participar means to hold an equity interest, but not necessarily 100%...

participates in, is engaged with, is involved with

Explanation:
My suggestion would be to turn the sentence around a bit:

The project, which XYZ group participates in and directs [manages]...

The project, which XYZ group is engaged with and directs [manages]...

The project, which XYZ group is involved with and directs [manages]...

On second thought, I think "engaged in", not "engaged with".

has been part of

Explanation:
I understand that XYZ has been part of and negotiated the project.

I think that it has nothing to do with ownership or shares holding but involvement and participation as CuencaTrans suggests.
