This can be controlled via Samba's "inherit permissions" and "force
create mode" on a per share basis.
1) Set the ownership on project root
# chown user.group /project
2) Set the user and group permissions on /project. Enable the "sticky"
bit and "setgid" on the directory so that only the owner of the file is
allowed to delete it. Setgid on the directory ensures that all files
created under /project will have the group set to "group"
# chmod 3775 /project
3) Configure the [project] share in smb.conf to "inherit" the directory
permissions of the parent directory and apply them on all files created
under this share. Force the file creation mode to "0755"
[projects]
path = /project
[..]
inherit permissions = yes
force create mode = 0755
Let us know if this worked! See "man smb.conf" for other ways of
enforcing group and user permissions.

Officer:
We've analyzed their attack, sir, and there is a danger.
Should I have your ship standing by?
Governor Tarkin:
Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you
overestimate their chances.
