Remove extra [OR] and have your code like this:

# If the request is not for a valid directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# If the request is not for a valid file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# If the request is not for a valid link
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^project/([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?view=project&project=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
