You can use the following code to get the current project hierarchy. I got it from here.

IntPtr hierarchyPtr, selectionContainerPtr;    
Object prjItemObject  = null;    
IVsMultiItemSelect mis;    
uint prjItemId;

IVsMonitorSelection monitorSelection = (IVsMonitorSelection) Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(SVsShellMonitorSelection));    
monitorSelection.GetCurrentSelection(out hierarchyPtr, out prjItemId, out mis, out selectionContainerPtr);

IVsHierarchy selectedHierarchy = Marshal.GetTypedObjectForIUnknown(hierarchyPtr, typeof(IVsHierarchy)) asIVsHierarchy;

if (selectedHierarchy != null)    
{    
    ErrorHandler.ThrowOnFailure(selectedHierarchy.GetProperty(prjItemId, (int)__VSHPROPID.VSHPROPID_ExtObject, out prjItemObject));    
}
   var projectItem = objProj as EnvDTE.ProjectItem;
