    That is an unusual name for a text field type.  Do you have a date field that you can use in that formula instead?    But, if the contents of that field is always a properly formatted date (or blank), but just in text format, then you can try this.

    Case(
    DayOfWeek(ToDate([FINAL PROJECTED START DATE])),
    0,"SUN",
    1,"MON",
    2,"TUE",
    3,"WED",
    4,"THU",
    5,"FRI",
    6,"SAT",
    "OPEN")

    Is there any chance that your final projected start date field is actually a text field and not a date  field type?

    Or perhaps the field should be called [FINAL PROJECTED START WEEKDAY]
