I just want to tell you both good luck[^]. We're all counting on you.

There is not really a better or more correct way to say it.
English is a language where most phrases are used figuratively not literally, as with your example.
You could use something like 'All the best' but that means the same as good luck without specifically using the word 'luck' but again it's implied.

I think 'good luck' is fine, as long as you don't add 'you're gonna need it' or similar to the end.

Break a leg?

I know the voices in my head are not real but damn they come up with some good ideas!

"Here's hoping for a [Happy|Productive|Efficient|Cost-effective|Appropriate] outcome."
"I hope all goes well."
"Bon Chance!" (that's cheating really)
"I am looking forward to saluting your success." - I have actually used that one.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Thank you for the hilarious and helpful suggestions both.
The send-off I settled on was (ahem):
"I hope all goes well with your project."
This suggestion was offered by Forogar and Nagy. No fancy prizes for you, sadly, but THANKS.
Me: A little embarrassed to need this kind of coaching today. Oh well, it was fun.

"Best Wishes"
"Break a leg"
"You da man!"
"Nice knowing you." 
Or, if you want to go esoteric:
"May the angels guide you on your endeavor"

Wish him "Good Skill."
Or be more honest and say "Just don't f*** it up."

Actually, in France they say "Bon courage", much more appropriate. Courage in french means strength or determination.

I am from Canada so there is that...

I usually say good skills.
Instead of wishing them luck you are wishing them to use their skills that they developed. Not just skills, but good skills
