Query Builder crashes when linking any table to Projects table

[bhumikaguptaa]

Describe the bug

When attempting to build and run a query that links any table (e.g., Collection Object, Accession, Locality) to Projects, the backend crashes and throws an Error. It appears the projects relationship is missing from the backend.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to query builder
2. Select collection objects as base table
3. Map any field from projects table and query
4. See error

Expected behavior
There should be no error and any mapping from project table should be displayed.
