If you want to use generic views you *have* to use only the parameters
described in the documentation for generic views, that's right. So as
soon as you want highly customised URLs like you are trying to create
here, you have left behind the ability to use purely generic views. But
that's okay. They're just an aid, not a requirement.

Yes.

That error should be self-explanatory. The function only accepts a
project_slug parameter (along with the obligatory request parameter).
The view functions are standard Python functions: you need to tell them
what parameters to expect.

If you want a view that works with category_slug, just add another
parameter to the function call and work with it inside the function. If
you want a view that works with both (just project_slug or project_slug
+ category_slug), then make the function definition look like:
def detail_view(request, project_slug, category_slug = None):
...
and inside the function take different actions depending upon whether
category_slug is None or not.
