Input Validation Issue for Project Acronyms

Description:
There is a problem with input validation for project acronyms. The UI allows users to create projects with invalid characters, leading to errors and inconsistencies in project access and display.

Steps to Reproduce:

Go to the project creation page in the UI.
Enter an acronym with spaces or special characters (e.g., Test Project or Test/Project).
Click "Submit".
Observe that the UI shows a "Something went wrong" error page but also incorrectly displays a success alert.

The newly created project appears in the list but is inaccessible when clicked. The space in the acronym gets converted to + when stored so It is possible to access it at /projects/test+project

When using ++ in the acronym test++project then it is not possible to access it at/projects/test++project

If the / character is used, the entire /projects page breaks until that project is deleted

The API should enforce proper validation to prevent invalid acronyms from being stored.
