Actually I'm not sure if this is going to work, but I never tried it. 
First thing is of course that you have to change the field names to 
reflect a array, otherwise only one of the selected values will be 
submitted. Second thing would be to probably submit the UID as 
__identity, so give the following a try:

<input type="checkbox" value="5" 
name="tx_myextension_pi1[projects][][__identity]">

But as I said - not sure if this is going to work that way. What will 
definitely work would be one of this cases:

- change the argument type to array and fetch the according objects form 
the repository
- use a little wrapper object as argument type and assign the checkbox 
values to a property of it

/**
  * ...
  */
public function editAction(Tx_ExtKey_Domain_Model_ProjectDemand 
$projectDemand) {
	$this->view->assign('projects', $projectDemand->getProjects());
}
