There's one sparse page in the manual, C-h i m emacs m Projects. I've run project-find-file and project-search. I fail to see how they're fundamentally different than find-file or grep.

It's basically zero setup. If you don't have a Git repo for your
project, the setup is 'git init'. The repo is the project, and the
project files are all the non-ignored files in its root directory
(registered or not). At least, that's with the built-in 'vc' backend.
To get the most benefit from the package, you should install the latest
version from GNU ELPA ('M-x list-packages', then install 'project'). The
latest version is 0.5.2.
To see the full list of commands defined in that package, type 'C-x p C-h'.
You can also read the full description of the package with 'C-h P
project RET'.
