Eh? Don't you mean:
1 = refresh
2 = proj
3 = bb
sep = +
? Also naming these variables "1", "2", and "3" will really confuse you
when using $(call ...); I strongly urge you to use something else:
pre = refresh
mid = proj
end = bb
sep = +

Then: $(warning $(call uc,$(pre)))
etc.

Why do you have the extra $( ... ) here?
That means you're taking the result of $(call uc,$(1))$(sep)$(2)$(sep)$(3)
which is 'REFRESH+proj+bb', and using it as the name of a variable and
dereferencing it.
Assuming you have no variable named REFRESH+proj+bb, that will yield the
empty string.
pb> I wan it to print :
pb> REFRESH+proj+bb
Change to:
$(warning $(call uc,$(1))$(sep)$(2)$(sep)$(3))

No. You're going nuts-o with the extra variable referencing!! Only use
it where necessary. You can't just add them all over the place like
extra escape sequences :-).
