Here are my constructions:

  1. While carrying out his engineering project, he prepared the design of wired and wireless network infrastructure and developed the new architectural plans of the building.
  2. While carrying out his engineering project, he designed wired and wireless network infrastructure and developed the new architectural plans of the building.

So my question is, should I use 'he prepared the design' or 'he designed'?

    The second is better. Does this phrase add anything? While carrying out his engineering project...? I'd describe the building. "...of a 100-storey high-rise office complex" or whatever terms accurately portray the scope of the project.

Thr use of active verbs is almost always preferable. "Prepared" doesn't describe or convey the kind of action implied by "designed." As a result, I would work to avoid the "prepared the design" construct in favor of the simpler, more concise "he designed."
