you need to create a UDF like this


CREATE FUNCTION GetProjects
(
@Emp varchar(100)
)
RETURNS Varchar(8000) 
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Ret varchar(8000)
SELECT @Ret=COALESCE(@Ret+',','') + PROJECT  
FROM Table
WHERE emp=@Emp
RETURN @Ret
END 

then use it like below

SELECT DISTINCT emp,dbo.GetProjects(emp)
FROM Table
