Unfortunately, the "Project to Surface" command is not currently supported by the API. The best way to request enhancements like this is to create a new post in the Inventor IdeaStation.
Depending on which options you want to use in the "Project to Surface" command, there might be a workaround you can use now. If you were going to use the "Project along vector" option, the workaround is that you first create a surface extrusion of the curve so that the surface intersects the surface where you want the projected curve. Then you can use the the Intersection Curve functionality in the API to create the curve. This requires the creation of the extra extrude feature, but the resulting curve should be the same.

Adding an extrusion and intersection curve would yield the correct curve however will clutter the model tree as there are many planes I need the curve projected to. This would be less of an issue for me if folders or groups were allowed in the part feature tree. See idea... http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideastation/allow-folders-in-part-feature-tree/idi-p/5699460.
I have figured out a way to add lines perpendicular to the planes and constrain them to the pertinent features in a single 3D sketch. This is not as "clean" as using a projected curve might be but am moving forward in this direction.
