Thanks a lot, that worked like a charm. To still be able to access it through the Wordpress REST Api, I had to add additional arguments:

'show_in_rest' => true,
rest_base' => 'customslug',

This way the posts will be returned to the following endpoint: /wp-json/wp/v2/customslug

Super efficient for those who work with DiVi,
Thank you very much for your contribution!

A better way would be to use the filter register_post_type_args. Something like this:

function projects_to_teams($args, $post_type)
{
	if ($post_type == 'project') {
		$args['rewrite']['slug'] = 'team';
		$args['menu_icon'] = 'dashicons-groups';
		$args['labels'] = array(
			'name' => _x('Team Members', 'Post Type General Name', 'textdomain'),
			'singular_name' => _x('Team Member', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'textdomain'),
		);
	}
	return $args;
}
add_filter('register_post_type_args', 'projects_to_teams', 10, 2);
