Note that IDENT_CURRENT returns a value that is server-global, and
thus may be affected by the activity of other process. You proabably
do not want this one where.

Nope, not in the dead end you are now.
The best is probably to remove the IDENTITY property from the table
and roll your own. That's pretty easy:
DECLARE @newids (ident int IDENTITY,
prjProjectID int NOT NULL)
DECLARE @nextid int
SELECT @nextid = coalesce(MAX(ProjectStructID), 0) + 1
FROM ProjectStruct WITH (UPDLOCK)
INSERT (prjProjectID) SELECT prjProjectID FROM inserted
INSERT ProjectStruct (ProjectId, PrjStructName, ParentId)
SELECT projProjectID, 'top level', @nextid + ident - 1
FROM @newids
The table variable is needed to cater for multi-row inserts.
A more common approach, though, is to leave the parent NULL for
the top-level object.
