Difference between “in progress” and “in process”

When reporting on a project that is still being worked on, do you call it in progress or do you call it in process?

I have heard both, and both make sense in their own way. I want to know what both the descriptivists and prescriptivists have to say.

Answer

Describing a project as in process sounds pretty odd to me, but apparently the form does occur – although in progress is about 5 times more common, as this NGram clearly shows.
.

This chart specifically for in process of [changing, for example] strongly suggests the usage is falling out of favour.
