Aug 1, 2012 at 13:00 comment added Ralph I added a characterization of the projective objects in the non-negatively graded case. Hence each complex of projective modules that is bounded below but not exact isn't a projective object. A simple example is $\cdots \to 0 \to R \xrightarrow{r} R \to 0 \to \cdots$ where $R$ is any ring and $r$ a non-unit.

Added the case when the complexes are bounded below
Aug 1, 2012 at 10:39 comment added Shlomi A Ralph, the question is about non-negatively graded chain complexes. In view of Ex. 1.4.1(1) in [We], if we simply cut your example in dimension 0, we get a split-exact chain complex, thus projective in $Ch_R $, thus also in $Ch_R ^\geq0$. Can this be mended to give an example of a level-wise projective chain complex which is not a projective object in $Ch_R ^\geq0$ ?

put the answer into a broader perspective

Jul 31, 2012 at 11:37 comment added Fernando Muro Let me add that this complex is a counterexample to the claim in the question's second paragraph, improperly attributed to Dwyer and Spalinski.
