I feel like I’m on a lame duck project. We’re not going to get extended, but we’re here for awhile longer. The PPMD is MIA, the managers are on cruise control, we’re rolling some people off, the client is barely reliant on us. What do I do?

Second this. Don’t rely on any one project for your sense of fulfillment. Work within your firm boundaries and balance it with an interesting life outside of that 9-5 world. But more tactically, you should reconnect with your director/partner contacts and let them know (gently) that you may be coming available soon and are starting to look for new opps, look at it as a chance refresh those relationships heading into the holiday season.
