You need to set rewrite rule first for it.

rule normally follows the pagename $_GET query param

add_action('init', 'set_project_endpoint');
add_filter('query_vars',  'set_project_query_vars');
add_action('template_redirect', 'set_project_template_redirect');

/**
 * This will set rewrite rule readable by wordpress
**/
function set_project_endpoint(){
    add_rewrite_rule('^project_name/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$', 'index.php?pagename=project_name&project_id=$matches[1]', 'top');
}

/**
 * This will set $_GET params to query_variable
**/
function set_project_query_vars($query_vars) {
    $query_vars[] = 'project_id';
    return $query_vars;
}

/**
 * This will global as per your requirement
**/
function set_project_template_redirect() {
    global $project_id;
    $project_id = get_query_var('project_id');
    // now you can use this in the project_name page or template
    // just design based on project_id global tha's all
}

If you dont want to set global then you can get it by get_query_var() function

Current Post object.

global $post;
$slug = $post->post_name;

Other Options:

Any Post using ID.

$post = get_post($post_id);
$slug = $post->post_name;

In the loop

while (have_posts()) {
    the_post();
    $slug = get_post_field( 'post_name' );
}

Outside the loop using ID

$page_slug = get_post_field( 'post_name', $post_id );

<?php
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'your_postype',
    'orderby' => 'title',
    'order' => 'ASC',
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :
    while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); 
        global $post;
        $post_slug=$post->post_name;
        echo $post_slug;
    endwhile;
    wp_reset_query();

Best option to do this according to WP Codex is as follow.

Use the global variable $post:

<?php 
    global $post;
    $post_slug = $post->post_name;
?>

this simple code worked for me:

$postId = get_the_ID();
$slug = basename(get_permalink($postId));
echo $slug;

I came across this method and I use it to make div IDs the slug name inside the loop:

<?php $slug = basename( get_permalink() ); echo $slug;?>

Here is most advanced and updated version what cover many cases:

if(!function_exists('the_slug')):
    function the_slug($post_id=false, $echo=true) {
        global $product, $page;

        if(is_numeric($post_id) && $post_id == intval($post_id)) {} else {
            if(!is_object($post_id)){}else if(property_exists($post_id, 'ID')){
                $post_id = $post_id->ID;
            }
            if(empty($post_id) && property_exists($product, 'ID')) $post_id = $product->ID;
            if(empty($post_id)) $post_id =  get_the_ID();

            if(empty($post_id) && property_exists($page, 'ID')) $post_id =  $page->ID;
        }

        if(!empty($post_id))
            $slug = basename(get_permalink($post_id));
        else
            $slug = basename(get_permalink());
        do_action('before_slug', $slug);
        $slug = apply_filters('slug_filter', $slug);
        if( $echo ) echo $slug;
        do_action('after_slug', $slug);
        return $slug;
      }
endif;

You can do this is in many ways like:

1- You can use Wordpress global variable $post :

<?php 
global $post;
$post_slug=$post->post_name;
?>

2- Or you can get use:

$slug = get_post_field( 'post_name', get_post() );

3- Or get full url and then use the PHP function parse_url:

$url      = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";
$url_path = parse_url( $url, PHP_URL_PATH );
$slug = pathinfo( $url_path, PATHINFO_BASENAME );

I hope above methods will help you.

If you want to get slug of the post from the loop then use:

global $post;
echo $post->post_name;

If you want to get slug of the post outside the loop then use:

$post_id = 45; //specify post id here
$post = get_post($post_id); 
$slug = $post->post_name;

global $post;
$post->post_name;
