You might want to do something like:

select proj_nbr, count(*) as ct from projects group by proj_nbr;

to see how big a problem it is. If it is only a few projects it could 
just a matter of manually deleting the extras.

Whatever you do:

1) Make sure you have a backup of at least that table.

2) Do the data changes as BEGIN; <changes> COMMIT; or ROLLBACK;
