I have 2 feature datasets in a .gdb (CNMS_Inventory and CNMS_Inventory_Albers). I set the dataset for CNMS_Inventory to 4269(NAD83) when I created it and it contains a feature class called S_Studies_County_Intersect_Merged. My goal is to basically change the projection of S_Studies_County_Intersect_Merged to North America Albers Equal Area Conic and write the output to the dataset (in the same gdb) called CNMS_Inventory_Albers (which was set to North America Albers Equal Area Conic). I first tried just using CopyFeatures but it threw an error:

I figured that this maybe due to the fact that the output feature, new_studs (S_Studies_Ln_Merge_Albers) needs to be projected into Albers first (I was thinking I maybe cannot just write a NAD83 projected feature to an Albers projected dataset). So I tried the following which gives be another error:

Looking at this error, it seems like Project is trying to write my output to "T:\CCSI\TECH\FEMA\Datasets\CNMS\FY18Q3\CNMS_AllRegions_FY18Q3.gdb\S_Studies_Ln_Merge_Albers" instead of
"T:\\CCSI\\TECH\\FEMA\\Datasets\\CNMS\\FY18Q3\\CNMS_AllRegions_FY18Q3.gdb\\CNMS_Inventory_Albers\\S_Studies_Ln_Merge_Albers", which basically leaves out the feature dataset CNMS_Inventory_Albers. Can anyone see where I am going wrong here or how I can fix this?
