In this sentence: "Tienes que traer algo para el proyecto"
Why is it necessary to insert "que" between "tienes" and "traer"?

The Spanish verb "tener que" is the verb "to have to" in English.
Tienes que traer algo para el proyecto.
You have to bring something to (for) the project.

Some verbs in Spanish link with other verbs via "que" and tener is one of them, it's just the way it is. In much the same way you'd insert a "to" in such a sentence in English - you need to bring, you have to bring.
