The answer

Usury (riba) is forbidden (haram), and assisting in it is also forbidden, based on the Almighty's saying: "{And cooperate not in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty}" (Quran 5:2). Preparing a feasibility study for a project whose owner borrows with interest is a form of assistance in usury, because the owner of the study office is assisting the borrower in his falsehood, and means are judged by their ends.
