cannot perform an aggregate function on an expression containing an
aggregate or subquery

is the error i am getting while i am executing the query.

SELECT name
FROM (SELECT c.name, COUNT(p.clientid) p_count
      FROM client c, project p
      WHERE c.clientid = p.clientid
      GROUP BY c.name) a,
        (SELECT MAX(COUNT(clientid)) p_max
      FROM project
      GROUP BY clientid) b
WHERE a.p_count = b.p_max

clientid and name are the columns in client table
and projectid and clientid are the columns in project table.

try it:

select
  name
from
  (select c.name, count(p.id) p_count from clients c, projects p
   where c.id = p.cl_id
   group by c.name) a,
  (select max(count(id)) p_max from projects
    group by cl_id) b
where a.p_count = b.p_max
