"Good" is an adjective - it modifies a noun (here "proposal").
"Well" is an adverb - it modifies a verb or an adjective. It cannot modify a noun.

Official Solution:
All business owners invited to bid for the lucrative construction project realize that, in order to secure the contract, they must have presented an exceptionally well proposal.
A. have presented an exceptionally well proposal
B. have presented their proposal exceptionally well
C. present an exceptionally well proposal
D. present an exceptionally good proposal
E. present a good proposal exceptionally
The underlined portion of the sentence requires adjustment in two areas: verb form and diction in terms of the word well. The words invited in the first clause and the phrase in order to in the second indicate that the third clause of the sentence must be in future tense, not past perfect as in the question stem. Also, the word well in the question stem is an incorrectly used adverb, when the sentence calls for the adjective good to modify the noun proposal.
A. Well is an adverb and incorrectly modifies proposal. Also, must have presented is in past perfect tense, when the sentence calls for future tense. B. This option uses well as an adverb that modifies exceptionally, but the meaning of the original sentence has been changed. Also, the first two clauses of the sentence indicate that future tense is necessary for the verb.
C. Must present identifies changes that should be made to the verb in the original sentence, but well incorrectly modifies proposal.
D. This option makes needed changes to both verb form and the word well as a modifier. They must present is correct future tense, and the adverb well has been changed to the correct good, and adjective that modifies proposal.
E. This option changes and confuses the meaning of the sentence by changing exceptionally from an adjective modifying good proposal to an adverb modifying present.
