First,
I believe Luck is the intersection between Opportunity and Preparation.
So, wishing someone luck, is fine. You are hoping they are prepared and they get opportunity.

Second,
You could go with any number of cliches (e.g. May the force be with you).
Putting it on terms relevant to their interests. (Being a Trekkie... May your project Live Long and Prosper).

Third,
Express your sincere belief in their ability. "I know you will XXX, and I hope everything goes swimmingly for you"

Anyways, like many things, think first about how you would like to communicate, then what you want to say (Good Luck, Godspeed, Best Wishes, All the best, May ...) that fits that style.

I truly hope you have amazing success in your endeavor!
