You have created a template from a site in a site collection that uses project server features. The site collection where you used the template does not have the features enabled.

Enable them in the site collection where you would like to use the template and your template should work, but you should consider if it's a good idea to enable those features in the specific site collection.

What you could do is to create a new site collection, enable the project server features there, and then restore your template there or create a subsite. Then you can deactivate the project feature and create a new template. Now the template won't require the features above and it should work in your first site collection.
