Assumptions:
1) The name (or synonym) of the Response form is "TASK" and it inherits field values.
2) The name of the field to synchronize is "STATUS" in both Project and Task forms. This
   is computed when composed to inherit from the parent form.

Include the following Script code in the QuerySave event of the parent form:

Sub Querysave(Source As Notesuidocument, Continue As Variant)
 Dim Collection As NotesDocumentCollection
 Dim Doc As NotesDocument
 Dim Form, ParentStatus, Status As String
   
 Set Doc = Source.Document
 Set Collection = Doc.Responses
 Set Doc = Collection.GetFirstDocument
 ParentStatus = Source.FieldGetText("STATUS")
 While Not ( Doc Is Nothing )
   Form = Doc.GetItemValue("Form")(0)
   Status = Doc.GetItemValue("Status")(0)
   If (Form = "TASK")And (Status <> ParentStatus) Then
     Call Doc.ReplaceItemValue( "STATUS", ParentStatus )
     Call Doc.Save (True, False)
   End If
   Set Doc = Collection.GetNextDocument(Doc)
 Wend
End Sub
