I'm pretty sure that you don't need the evaluate in the first part of your
<cfset statement.
<cfset evaluate('session.#column_name#') =
evaluate('project_retrieval.#column_name#')>
The evaluate statement is going to try to return a value, but you don't have a
value for session.#column_name# yet.
Try this instead:
<cfset "session.#column_name#" = evaluate("project_retrieval.#column_name#")>
There may be other issues with your code, but that's the one that stood out to
me.
