A: "As far as I'm concerned" is used when you are giving your opinion about something, especially when your opinion may differ from others.

For example: as far as I'm concerned, this conversation is over.

It is somewhat interchangeable with 'regarding' or 'concerning' or 'about' but it has a very official feel to it. A doctor would have "concerns as to which patients get treated." or a prosecutor would have "questions as to who was at the crime scene."

A: they are close in meaning but worry implies a more physical reaction (like fretting it implies physical signs of mental stress like not being able to sleep or having an upset stomach or pancing or wringing the hands etc).

A: Concern is more of an emotion you feel. Like you can be concerned about having a problem. A problem is more of a situation/subject that isn’t really a good thing which can make you uncomfortable, concerned, or worried

A: Just for reference here's your examples:

3.'' The project concerned all the people living in that area.''
4.'' All the people living in that area were concerned with the project.''

#3 means that the project has to do with all the people living in that area. The project in #3 is the one that is concerned.

Let's say the project was a new swimming pool for an apartment community. Let's also say that for the project to be approved all the people in the apartment community would have to give their approval. Therefore, the project concerned all the people living in that area.


#4 means that the people living in the area were concerned for some reason with the project. The people in sentence #3 are the ones who are concerned.

Due to the lengthy construction of the swimming pool, all the people living in that area were concerned with the project.

Both #3 and #4 are natural. They mean slightly different things, and it's based off who or what is of concern.

When it's a person, concern is usually an emotion like the word "worry" or "interest".

When it's a thing or place then concern means "to affect" or "to involve."
