That's right!

Discuss is a transitive verb [他動詞], so a direct object should follow the verb - no preposition [前置詞] should follow it.

Talk is an intransitive verb so a preposition is required.

So, the correct patterns are as follows:

1. He discussed the new project.

2. He talked about the new project.

Advice:

Remember these patterns:

He discussed it.

He talked about it.
