I am undecided as to which is correct or better:

I need to look into/over the proposal again as some things don't seem right.

I prefer 'look over' but 'look into' seems okay as well. Which is correct and why?

Thank you.

look over is better in this case.

It's used in the sense of have a quick check, especially when the checking involves reading.

look into suggests a more in-depth investigation.
