Thank you! This is the code I ended up with for anyone that stumbles upon
this:

- debug: >
    msg="{{ item.0.path }} - {{ item.1.stat.exists }}"
  with_together:
    - project_paths
    - check_install.results

- name: application | run install
  command: php install.php chdir={{ item.0.path }}
  with_together:
    - project_paths
    - check_install.results
  when: item.1.stat.exists
