I believe getCreatedBy() is only giving you the ID not the object it is linking to. try using $project->getUser()->getFirstName(); it seems odd because youre not using the default naming pattern (ie. user_id as a value is getUserID(), user as an object is getUser()), the proxy to get the related record is created by the related class name, not the column name.
