I am no Solaris expert, so take this with some grain of salt:

There is a file in /etc (if i remember correctly "/etc/limits" or something such) where every user-specific limit is set. You can edit this file with a text editor.

I hope this helps.

I've no clue about Solaris 'projects', but projmod looks like it might do the job.
