That's not a huge project, nor a HHUUGGEE project....that's something
where you'd need to put banner paper in your printer to print out how
huge it is.

Piece of cake. Take a gas giant, gig giant magnetic accelerators as
fusion torches and fuel them from the atmosphere. Then just swing the
gas giant into a lower solar orbit, pick up Venus as a satellite, then
move it back out.
Worked for moving Earth out of reach of Sol's expansion into a gas giant
in Niven's "World out of Time".
