Is it proper to say, "The project will be complete on tomorrow"? It drives me nuts, but I see it so often that I'm starting to wonder if that's the correct use of language.

Technically, "on the morrow" would be the most correct usage. However, "tomorrow" does not need a preposition to be grammatically correct unless you're using it for something like "looking on tomorrow"

Unless I am posting or answering within sections of Yahoo other than Polls & Surveys, I don't really give a damn.

No, it's incorrect. Say either, "The project will be completed tomorrow" or "The project will be completed on September 29th."
(The date is an example.) The use of yesterday, today, or tomorrow, etc., does not require "on".

You are absolutely right to go nuts about this; I would too. 'Tomorrow', like 'Today' and 'Yesterday', does not need a preposition. Imagine saying, "...on today...'!
In times gone by people did say, '...on the morrow...' . Maybe some people who read a lot of classics books started this new,incorrect trend.
Spread the word, PLEASE.

No, I don't think it is incorrect grammer.
"on" tomorrow would mean sometime tomorrow, meaning sometime during the day.
It sounds like old english to me, and has since been shortened to just "tomorrow".
"by" tomorrow I believe actually means the begiinning of the day tomorrow, or really by the end of today. the english language is funny sometimes.

"ON tomorrow" is incorrect.
That ranks up there with the word "irregardless".

i agree its wrong.
I guess it should be, the project will be complete by tomorrow, or perhaps complete by tomorrow, or done by the next day........
