I cannot reproduce with configuration looking like yours.
He is what I did (On Demo).
Create new profile Superviseur
Create new Access Mode Superviseur
Set access to forms to Superviseur profile
Set access to data with access mode Superviseur to Superviseur profile
In workflow default, define access so that Superviseur profile has rights to change status
Create user superviseur with profile Superviseur (in fact it already existed, I just changed profile)
Create new project and allocate Superviseur to this project
Then connect as superviseur,
Go to new project,
And change Status
So sure all works fine.
You can try on demo.projeqtor.org, with user superviseur/superviseur.
