Eco Struxure Machine Expert HVAC - How to extract existing project from PLC?
I am trying to download the entire project from an existing operational PLC (M172) so that I can inspect/adjust it. Can somebody please explain the method or provide a link to where I can find an explanation as i'm struggling to find the info.

You could only read back the compiled project file and the parameters. You could not adjust a project on a PLC without the project file. This is actually impossible.
