"Off and on" means periodically, sporadically, or randomly.

For example, if someone asks "Is it raining?" You might answer "Off and on." if it was raining for awhile and then stops for awhile.

Or if someone asks if you're working on the project, you could say "Off and on" if you're also doing other things.
