IIRC Nova started with project, until the marriage with Rax, when many
things changed, although the project -> tenant change may have never been
completed.  Keystone v3 started the movement back to project.
OpenStackClient made the commitment from the beginning to present exactly
one term to the user in all cases, and we chose project.

I've thought about making that change in DevStack many times, and would
love to see it happen.  Somehow it never gets to the top of the queue.  And
now in a plugin world, it'll be a bit harder to maintain compatibility.
