Idiom: make way

Hi

Would you say that the idiom make way (make progress) is fairly common among native speakers? Are these sentences natural English?

  1. By this time next month, we'll surely have made way with our new project.
  2. Sophia failed to make way with her new novel. She remained stuck on the last few chapters.
  3. How's your new business making way?

Thanks,

Tom

"Make way"

It means to stop, so something more important can pass safely.
