Kudos on finishing your project piece (and for sharing it).
In general (generalities are the best we can do), variety is important--variety of rhythm, texture, melodic contour, tonal centers, etc. It's nice that you begin with the piano introduction; it gives you textural variety. The harmonic and rhythmic material, however, is rather similar throughout: harmonies are all Eb major, rhythms are all duple, hypermetric strong beats are on the downbeat of every measure, and so forth.
You might want to go through and check for parallel perfect intervals and incorrect chordal doublings (they are numerous). Just in the piano introduction, for example, you have parallel octaves in the first measure beat 3 and 4, again in measure three going into four (you should also have the Eb doubled in this measure rather than the G), as well as in the 8th notes at measure five, and so forth.
I don't think expanding the instrumentation or the length of the piece is as important as polishing what you have. Of course, your mileage may vary.
