I would use 
scopes<http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_querying.html#scopes>for 
late or "due soon" projects.

class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
  scope :late, -> { where("some_time_attr > ?", Time.now) }
end

So, then you can call the following in your Controller:

@projects = Project.late
