Project isn't going away, tho' I suspect at some future point it may be renamed 'tenant', (keystone's term for account-ish things) and keystone will be the canonical repository for such info. 
Instances that are recorded in nova as belonging to project 'foobar' will continue to be recorded as belonging to tenant 'foobar', even if the actual 'foobar' record migrates into keystone.
