From your description, I don’t think you should have any inactive relationships - just a 1:M active unidirectional relationship from Projects to Expenses and an active 1:M unidirectional relationship from Projects to Time Billings. For the visuals, just drag the Project # from the Projects table as your table or matrix row and then whatever fields or measures (i.e., simple Total Expenses and Total Time measures) you want to include in your visuals.
If I’ve misunderstood the question, please post a copy of your PBIX file and a mockup of the results you want to achieve.
Thanks.

P.S. If you have the option for Power BI to automatically recognize relationships turned on, PLEASE turn it off. It’s a terrible feature - only you should be making decisions about the structure or your data model…
