We look forward to discussing the ANNT Project during the meeting. You are NOW looking forward to discussing it Then.
We will be looking forward to discussing the ANNT Project during the meeting.
Between now and the meeting we will be anticipating discussing it then.
In the meeting, we would also *look forward* to discussing the ANTT Project.
While in the meeiting (not before) we will look forward to discussing it (probably during the meeting, but maybe not).
Anticipate might be a better choice.

There's something wrong that's more basic. You generally "look forward" to pleasurable experiences, like ice cream or a date or a Christmas party. You could look forward to hearing a person's views on the ANTT project, because that could stimulate a lively debate that the speaker would find interesting.
But in your context it almost sounds like an addition to an agenda, as in "In the meeting, we will be discussing the BUGG, WAASP, and FLYY projects, and if we have time we would also look forward to discussing the ANTT project".
That could be your intention, but I would say "In the meeting, we would also LIKE to discuss the ANTT Project". It's a subtle shift, but you're going from looking forward to the particulars of the ANTT project to expressing a desire to cover the ANTT project as part of the agenda. The original way, you'd like to discuss the ANTT project over a beer in a pub. This way, you'd like to get the ANTT project out of the way so you can enjoy a beer at the pub.
Just my 2 cents.

If you put the phrase "In the meeting first", it become ambiguous or unclear whether you have to wait until the meeting comes, then you will start to look forward to the discussion of the ANTT project, or that you are already looking forward now to that item or agenda. So the correct way is to say: "We look forward to discussing the ANTT project in the meeting."

"In the meeting, we look forward to discussing the ANTT project"

In the meeting, we should also consider discussing the ANTT Project.
This makes your intention clear, yet politely requests what you hope to accomplish at the meeting. This way it also would imply to me that I should be thinking about some answers for the Project.

nope...not correct, you are mixing the tenses.
"We also are looking forward to discussing the ANTT Project during the meeting".

No they are not. The tense is mixed. He asked if the two words were appropriate to use in the supplied sentence.
