The pictures that are part of my iPhone Project, do they have to be part of my iPhotos too? Or can I add the images to the project, and then delete them off my iPhoto?
What do you mean by iPhono Project, dimpy? Do you mean the Photo Stream?
depends on details not supplied
what version of iPhoto? of the Mac OS? of IOS? How are the photos synced from the iPhone to iPhoto? what else can you tell us?
Remember we can not see you and only now what you tell us

When I open the iPhoto on my Laptop (MacBook Air), they have a Projects feature, in which I can create photo albums, and then get them printed. So I created a couple of albums, and then deleted the pictures off my photo stream in iPhoto, and saved the pictures on my external hard disk, because I was running out of space. It was working fine, and my albums were visible too. However, sometime recently, i updated to the newer iOS, so the iPhoto was also updated, and now all my albums that i created in the Projects section is empty!!
Are the empty albums smart albums?
When you migrate an iPhoto Library to Photos not all smart albums and projects can be migrated correctly. Smart albums referring to projects or events will no longer work. Photos does not have events, and the project can also not be recreated. Photos simulates them as albums. see this page: How Photos handles content and metadata from iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support
If the albums are smart albums, try to recreate them.
Are the photos still there, when you look for them in the "AllPhotos" album?
No the photos aren't there, because I deleted them. But the photo album that created was working fine. I created the albums in December, and this problem just occurred.

That must have been a book project and to an album. An album in iPhoto will not show any photos, if you delete the photos from iPhoto, because albums just use the photos in the library. A book project does the same, but it can be misleading, because you can still browse the photos on the pages, even after you delete the photos from the library. Only, if you modify the book you'll notice, that the photos have gone from the library.
Since photos could not migrate any projects as projects but only as albums, because Photos has different templates for projects.
If your photos have only been visible in iPhoto projects after you deleted them from the library, but no longer in the iPhoto events, they are gone and you need to reimport them from the folder where you saved them before you deleted them from the Mac.
iPhoto Project Pictures Disappeared!
