In March means between 1st March and 31st March.

By March means before March

I will finish my project in March. = I will not finish it sooner.

I will have finished my project by March. = In March, it will have been completed. It may be completed sooner than March though.

When one says, 'I'll get this work done in March', they mean that they will get it done in the month of March, i.e. between March 1 and March 31.

When one says 'I'll get this work done by March', they imply that they will get the work done before March commences.

Hope this helps.
