Jpanel fire event in jframe parent

I have a JFrame that contains a jpanel with three butons. I desire that when I clic a button in the child a event is fired into parent parent. I desire to add a Jcardlayout and a button in Jpanel is clicked, the value of jcardlayout changes.

public class Project{

private static JPanel pane = null, p = null;
private static CardLayout card = null;

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO code application logic here
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            createFrame();
        }
    });
}

private static void createFrame() {


    JFrame jf = new JFrame("Principal Frame");
    p = new JpMenu();
    jf.getContentPane().add(pane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    jf.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    jf.setSize(new Dimension(300, 200));
    jf.setVisible(true);
    jf.setResizable(false);
    jf.setVisible(true);
    jf.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
    jf.setExtendedState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);


}

}

And the Jpanel generated for netbeans

public class JpMenuPrincipal extends javax.swing.JPanel  {

public JpMenuPrincipal() {
    initComponents();
}

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
// <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="Generated Code">                          
private void initComponents() {

    btnOptionClient = new javax.swing.JButton();
    jButton2 = new javax.swing.JButton();
    jButton3 = new javax.swing.JButton();

    btnOptionClient.setText("jButton1");
    btnOptionClient.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
            btnOptionClientActionPerformed(evt);
        }
    });

    jButton2.setText("jButton2");

    jButton3.setText("jButton3");

    javax.swing.GroupLayout layout = new javax.swing.GroupLayout(this);
    this.setLayout(layout);
    layout.setHorizontalGroup(
        layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
        .addGroup(layout.createSequentialGroup()
            .addGap(19, 19, 19)
            .addGroup(layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
                .addComponent(jButton3)
                .addComponent(jButton2)
                .addComponent(btnOptionClient))
            .addContainerGap(32, Short.MAX_VALUE))
    );

}                                               

private void jButton2ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         
    // TODO add your handling code here:
}

Pass the Project to the constructor of JpMenuPrincipal and have a getter for the CardLayout in the Project class.

private Project project;

public JpMenuPrincipal(final Project project) {
    initComponents();
    this.project = project;
}

private void btnOptionClientActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                                
    CardLayout card = project.getCardLayout();
    // do something with card
}

Also note you added jpMenu and not JpMenuPrincipal to the frame.

Also as @HovercraftFullOfEels noted, you don't need to make the fields static in Project. Just use getters for the fields you want to access.
