Windows has a Task manager that runs tasks at set times of the week. Use
that to open a specific project file and in it have an autoOpen macro that
runs your macro.

For that just record a macro to get the correct format. However, you need to
start project connected to project server so use a startup string like:

"winproj.exe /s http://ServerName/ProjectServer/"

This will start project using windows authentication.
