✅

I think you are looking to use alias:

location /static {
    alias /webapps/myproject/project_staticfiles;
}

If you read the docs on root, it states:

root specifies the document root for the requests. For example, with this configuration:

location  /i/ {   
    root  /spool/w3; 
}

A request for “/i/top.gif” will return the file “/spool/w3/i/top.gif”.
You can use variables in the argument.

root appends the directory into the filepath, alias does not, that is why, static gets appended to your root to form /webapps/myproject/project_staticfiles/static
