How to find if one column (b) includes value of cell in column c and if so, pull column d

I have a very large workbook where I need to add the following logic:

"If value for a cell in column C exists in column B as well (most cells blank in this column), pull the date value in column D for that cell and add as a new column for all rows with an equivalent in column c".  

 

The below example explains better - in essence the project at the top level will not have a program number.  However program being blank alone does not mean that is the date to utilize.

 

My next step will be to remove all rows where the output in column E is prior to 1/1/2024, where column E shows a date since 1/1/2024 they are to remain.

 

Input example

IDProjectProgramDate(to be included in output)
1ALPHAB 

12/2/2023

 
2BravoCindigo1/4/2024 
3CharlieDALPHAB2/4/2024 
4DeltaF 1/16/2024 

 

Desired output

IDProjectProgramDateNEW DATE
1ALPHAB 

12/2/2023

=column D
2BravoCindigo1/4/2024=column D

4DeltaF 1/16/2024=column D

I dont quite understand the meaning of "=column D" so I only populated the part of matching. and hope this would help.
