I don't believe there's any individual page which describes these differences, but many policy and guideline pages either describe their relation to various namespaces, or make their relationships obvious, by their very nature ([[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines]] as an obvious example).
Talk pages and articles are obviously subject to vastly different attitudes and policies. The extent to which the same is true of project space is probably a bit of an open question. Talk, use common sense, find common ground (sounds so easy!).
Mebbe I should go and have a look at that, though. Sounds interesting.

Can someone remind me where it's stated how our policies are applied differently for different namespaces, and how many of those differences there are? I'm pretty sure the rules for talk pages are different, but are there also significant differences between "project" pages and the main namespace (i.e. ns:0)?
(I ask because I'm becoming embroiled in a delightful -- not! -- tempest-in-a-teapot over proposed sweeping new policies for the Reference Desks, and one of the sticking points seems to be the extent to which core policies such as WP:NOR and WP:V should be applied there. But I mention this only for information; I'm not trying to extend the RD debate to this mailing list.)
