Do you have a good relationship with other partners/directors? They might have other projects where it might be a better fit for you (or at the very least ghost book you onto something) that would give you a better case not to work on that project
Most people in the firm agree it isn’t the type of project that is 1) worth my time 2) not really a value add 3) doesn’t require three people… requires only 1. I could talk to other partners / directors but it might make my direct manager look bad and I don’t want to do that

Sure most people in the firm can agree but if those people are not presenting you with other projects, you’re stuck with this project because it’s 1) billable, 2) keeps you utilized, and 3) the Director has more pull than your direct manager.
You need a valid reason. Finding another project to keep you utilized will help.
