"...., with + S.+ Ving.."?

I am familiar with the grammar construct of ", with +V...".
But could be verb here be in past tense?
Such as "This is a successful project, with the designer personally devised every single detail"?

Thanks:)

Not at all.
There are a lot of projects that require a lot of preparation and detail planning beforehand, the execution of the project is not brought until all the planing and preparation have been done.

Then I would say 'This will be a successful project'.

If you do not include the execution as part of the project, you may end up having to tell the end-user that the project was successful but the execution failed miserably. In my experience, they don't say 'Oh, good!'
