This works

,----
| #+name: project-root
| #+header: :var buf-file=(buffer-file-name)
| #+begin_src emacs-lisp
| (file-name-directory
|  (directory-file-name
|   (file-name-directory buf-file)))
| #+end_src
| 
| #+name: project-name
| #+header: :exports none
| #+header: :var root=project-root
| #+begin_src emacs-lisp
|   (mapconcat
|    'capitalize
|    (split-string
|     (file-name-nondirectory
|     (directory-file-name root))
|     "-" 'OMIT-NULLS)
|    " ")
| #+end_src
`----

so it was just wrong usage ... sorry for the noise
