I personally would give as much notice as possible. It's not necessary but a nice thing to do. Hopefully, there is another internal resource they can put on the project.
Good thing to do would be is to give them as much notice as possible to find a replacement, will show how you still care about the team/practice even though you maybe moving on. Leaving on good terms is never a bad thing, it’s a small world. Your paths might cross again.
I’d keep the resignation email short and sweet, thank for the opportunities during your time there, tell them that you’d be leaving and would like to make things easy for transition etc. etc.
The standard 2 weeks is more than enough time considering they wouldn’t give you that if you were being fired. I could see giving more than 2 weeks if you’re really personally invested in the project and want to complete some milestones, but up to you to determine. I personally wouldn’t worry about the company/client relationship.
I would recommend first calling your direct manager and telling them that way, instead of primarily over email. If an email is required, then keep it short and simple - This is your formal resignation and your last day will be xx/xx/xx. Don’t tell them why in the email or where you’re going. You can throw in a line saying you’ll work over this time to ensure a smooth turnover or something if you want.
