réalisation de chef d’oeuvre
completion of an extended essay (as part of a team project)
I've inserted the missing accent to make an online search easier.
Never having heard of a 'capstone' project, I can only add that, for us (great-grand-) parents in some countries like Austria for A-Levels (Matura) or Germany (Abitur), the compulsory paper is called a 'Scientific Assignment'.
At university undergrad or postgrad level, it is called an 'extended dissertation' e.g. upgrading a(n) historically questionable English Bar Exam 'Degree' to an LLM.

Example sentence:
One component of the International Baccalaureate® (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) core, the extended essay is mandatory for all students.

For lack of any sort of official translation, how about something like 'capstone' or 'capstone project'? That's what this sounds like to me, anyway.
