You could do this:

Meteor.publish("tasks", function() {

    var transform = function(task) {
        var project = Projects.findOne({_id: task.projectId});
        task.projectTitle = project.title;
        return task;
    }

    var self = this;

    var tasks = Tasks.find().observe({
        added: function (document) {
            self.added('tasks', document._id, transform(document));
        },
        changed: function (newDocument, oldDocument) {
            self.changed('tasks', document._id, transform(newDocument));
        },
        removed: function (oldDocument) {
            self.removed('tasks', oldDocument._id);
        }
    });

    self.ready();

    self.onStop(function () {
        tasks.stop();
    });

});

There's a lot of custom logic there, but the 'transform' basically adds the attributes in.

Your code looks good but you're forgetting the .fetch() method on your task request. It should be var tasks = Tasks.find().fetch();
