Is it okay to tell HR that you do not want to continue on your current project because you are not comfortable working with your current manager? Would that lead to me losing my job?

Don't go straight to HR, start with project leadership

like

The director is making us work through weekends and holidays and not helping alleviate any concerns. He dismisses all issues we raise about our dependencies on getting details from client and constantly throws us under the bus. The deadlines we have for the project are unrealistic but he refuses to budge and aggressively shouts us down if we push back against the deadlines and workload. The project is heavily understaffed but he doesn’t care

When you do go to partner or HR be ready to quit. Clarify what you want out of your job and be serious about going elsewhere if you don't get it

Sounds like it’s the project leadership that is shit though. OP - is the director working along side with you or delegating and taking off? Are you able to charge all your hours or are you also forced to eat your hours?

like

None of what op is describing is an HR violation, so they won't do anything. HR is largely worthless, their job is to protect the company not the employees so they'll likely talk to project partner anyway.

like

P4 - Delegating and taking off and blaming me of not doing tasks or setting up meetings that I was never asked to do. I also don’t have enough autonomy to get stuff done myself so waiting for director to review is a bottleneck and he is never there to support and has no other projects going on

More details, OP
