Why do you idiots always want local projects?!? You're doing this all wrong!

Tell your MD that this opportunity better aligns with your career goals, and keeps you billable for 10 months. If the other engagement isn't starting any time soon, then they have time to backfill. Now if that project bid you key, and they are starting soon, it'd be bad form to rescind.
