Most of the time, you won't delete projects from BigTime. Rather, you'll change their production status to 'Completed' (or 'Cancelled' or some other inactive status code). That will keep the project (for your historical data), but will remove it from your list of active projects.
If, however, you've got a project you want to DELETE from BigTime, you can do that fairly easily (as long as you have permission to delete projects). Just click the DELETE button on the project's General page.
Clicking DELETE will pop up the Delete Project page. Here, BigTime will tell you what additional data will be deleted if this project is removed from the system (hourly data, budget data, etc.). You just need to click the DELETE button at the bottom of this page to archive the project and remove it completely from your BigTime system.

If you have two projects which need to be merged into one, then you can use the "merge" feature of the Delete Project page.
Once again, you get to this page by clicking the DELETE button on a project's General Info page. You'll see a section that allows you to delete the project, and a section that allows you to merge the project with another one in the system. Here, you can enter the name of a project into which the time/expense and budget data from the current project should be merged. The project will still be deleted, but the time/expense data isn't deleted along with it. Rather, BigTime just "transfers" that data to the merge project you have selected.
BigTime preserves (merges) all of the data in the following categories when you run a merge: time (submitted or un-submitted), expenses, project documents, diary entries and invoices. All additional data (e.g. - estimate budgets, tasks, milestones, etc.) is deleted when a project is merged into another. So, make sure you copy that data into the surviving project before you run a merge.
