Selected
in which XYZ has an interest/a stake
English is not so compact in this case... "participado al 100%" would be wholly owned, but unless you know that to be the case, "owned" is going to far... participar means to hold an equity interest, but not necessarily 100%...

participates in, is engaged with, is involved with
My suggestion would be to turn the sentence around a bit:
The project, which XYZ group participates in and directs [manages]...
The project, which XYZ group is engaged with and directs [manages]...
The project, which XYZ group is involved with and directs [manages]...

On second thought, I think "engaged in", not "engaged with".
The project, which XYZ group participates in and directs [manages]...
The project, which XYZ group is engaged with and directs [manages]...
The project, which XYZ group is involved with and directs [manages]...

has been part of
I understand that XYZ has been part of and negotiated the project.
I think that it has nothing to do with ownership or shares holding but involvement and participation as CuencaTrans suggests.

Empresa responsable del desarrollo del proyecto ABC, participada por DEF, GHI y JKL (company names)
I'm thinking that the "owned" hypothesis is correct, but it's not clear if, as Marian says, the ownership is partial. This makes sense, because in another part of the doc when describing another company, it says "Empresa propiedad de PQR (company) responsable del diseño...".
