Projects are are bound to the library, where you created them. Apple Script cannot access the projects at all. And projects do not sync with iCloud Photos between libraries. If it were possible to access the projects in the libraries in a safe and supported way, the Power Photos team would have found a solutions, I am sure.
This has not changed with Photos 4.0. What has changed, is that most projects are no longer supported. Apple stopped the support for print projects and removed the tools to create native Apple Books, cards, calendars.
If you want to save your projects, export all print projects as PDF previews of the project, so you can have them printed somewhere else, or can at least view the PDF version.
If you want to be able to edit book projects, or calendar projects like you can do in Photos 3.0 on High Sierra or on earlier versions, I would keep a bootable clone of your Mac with macOS 10.13 or earlier, and a Photos 3.0 version of your libraries with the projects on an external drive as a backup.
After upgrading to Photos 4.0 on Mojave you can only create print projects in Photos with third-party project extensions. There is nothing you can do with your current books other than save the PDF version or convert them using third-party extensions and work with them online.
