Answer 1

Vidhya --
First of all, is your Project Server 2013 system updated with the latest Cumulative Updates and/or with Service Pack 1 (just released yesterday)?  If not, I would strongly suggest that you update your system and your copies of Microsoft Project 2013
with Service Pack 1 at the earliest date possible.
Second, regarding this project in particular, I would strongly suspect that this project is corrupted.  To resolve the corruption, you will need to use the Save for Sharing feature in Microsoft Project 2013.  To do this, right-click anywhere on
a ribbon tab in Microsoft Project 2013, such as the Tasks tab, and then select the Customize Quick Access Toolbar item on the shortcut menu.  In upper left corner of the Project Options dialog, click the Choose Commands From pick list and select
the All Commands item.  In the list of commands on the left side, select the Save For Sharing item and click the Add button to add it to the list on the right. Click the OK button when finished.
To use the Save for Sharing feature, do the following:
Open the enterprise project in question.
Click the Save for Sharing button in the Quick Access Toolbar.
In the Save dialog, save the MPP file to a location where you can find it easily, such as your computer Desktop, for example.
Close the MPP file.
Reopen the MPP file.
Click File > Save As and then save the project.
When the Save operation is done, try publishing the project.
Please let us know if this helps.
