Hi Michael,
FYI while Zapier doesn’t possess this capability, Flowsana now does - there is a new rule action to automatically create a project from a template, based on a variety of trigger conditions. (Also, if you need the new project created from a trigger condition that’s outside of Asana, you can use Zapier to trigger one of Flowsana’s rules, which then creates the new project.)
You can see more about it in this forum post.
