Try below mentioned xpaths

option 1. //a[text()='Project Costing']

option 2. //*[@id='fldra_EPCO_PROJECTS'] in case this ID value is duplicate then try concatenating it with other attribute like this //*[@id='fldra_EPCO_PROJECTS'][@class='ptntop']

option 3. Or start with the table name //table[@id='ptpglts']/a

In case nothing works then try using the xpath sibling methods

option 4. Use the element just above a step above to your element //*[@class='ptnav2toggle']/following-sibling::a
