How can I move a project from the newer version of Final Cut Pro to an older version?

Hi! How can I move a project from the newer version of Final Cut Pro to an older version? I need to export it to XML instead of XMLD, as DaVinci won't be able to open the xmld file otherwise. Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11

FCP10.6.10:

4. Create new library


5. Change properties of new library →SDR or HDR


6. Library selection →File →Load →XML
