Hi

You could solve this with Sumproduct, but I would be more inclined to
use a Pivot Table.
Assuming your data is set out as Date, Project in columns A and B with
row 1 being headers.
First, add 2 extra columns C and D headed Week and Day
In C2 enter =Weeknum(A2) Weeknum is part of the Analysis Toolpack
addin, so if it comes up with #NAME for you, go to Tools>Addins>select
Analysis Toolpack.
In D2 enter = A2 but Format>Cells>Number>Custom ddd and it will display
the day of the week.

As your data will be growing, then it would be best to create a dynamic
range.
Insert>Name>Define Name Data Refers to
=OFFSET($A$1,0,0,COUNT($A$A),4)

Now create the Pivot Table
Data>Pivot Table>Next>Range = Data>Next>Layout
Drag Day to the Column area, Drag Week to the Row Area, Drag Project
to the Page Area
Drag Project again to the Data Area and ensure that it is Count of
Project (double click the field to change if it is not Count)
Click OK>Finish
You will now have a summary of all of your data, use the dropdown on
Project to give the analysed data for just that project.
