Congrats! Getting anything at all out of the printer means you're on the way. That looks like the calibrationtarget_solid.stl file; if so then you've at least gotten something recognizable to start from.

Certainly something is wrong and you can improve on that result. You need to troubleshoot, but you will have to mostly do it on your own because nobody else knows as much about your setup as you do. Be methodical, change only one thing at a time, be patient. Write down what you do and the results you get so that you have a record to refer back to.

As a first guess, your projector is out of focus and/or very over-exposed. Remember the projector must focus on the vat bottom in the printer -- with the projector and (empty) vat both in position in the printer, images on the vat floor should be crisp. If your projector isn't attached firmly to the printer, once you have the focus right be careful not to bump either projector or printer out of position.
