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.

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]
