Yeah, that's what I was thinking. However the example I gave was
bogus. I realized that I needed to do more, then forgot before sending.

You'll almost certainly need to add projects as proj in the from clause,
proj.project_id in the select clause and group by (and possibly
division_id - I can't quite tell if that's a composite key).

In these you'd want to limit it to the appropriate rows from defs
by project_id (and possibly division_id).
