It is proposed by them to build a dam for irrigation purposes.

Explanation: When a sentence changes from active to passive voice, the subject and the object interchange their positions. In passive voice, the focus is on the action rather than on the subject. The verb changes into past participle form in passive voice regardless of the tense. Only the auxiliary changes according to the tense.
"It is proposed" is added here in apposition to "to build a dam".
