Praise be to Allah.
There does not seem to be anything wrong with your setting up this project, even if the idea is similar to what your friend’s relative wanted to do, because such ideas are very common and many programmers and others think of them, so you have not impinged upon the unique rights of an inventor. If someone hears that some person is thinking about doing some project, then he does the same thing, he is not transgressing anyone’s rights.
And Allah knows best.
