It looks like the server response comes back as the first argument to the callback to save, so as long as the server responds with the full object data, you should be able to use it to create a "new" Project object like this:

        function(data) { /* Successfully received data */ }, 
        function(data) { /* Failed to receive data */ },
    );

    $scope.saveProject = function() {
        $scope.project.save(function(data) {
            $scope.project = new Project(data);
        });
    };
}
