To discuss a project over dinner is to discuss it dinner.
To discuss a project over dinner is to discuss it during dinner.
during: To discuss something "over dinner" indicates that a discussion will take place during the dinner. The term "during" links an action (discussing the project) with an event (the dinner). "During" almost always precedes a noun, (usually an event or period of time) in this case, "dinner".
after: "Over dinner" does not mean "after dinner".
before: "Over dinner" does not mean "before dinner".
instead of: "Over dinner" does not mean "instead of dinner".

What does this mean?
Sam wants to meet Bruno "over lunch", which indicates he wants to meet "for lunch" or "during lunch". "To meet or to talk "over" a meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner)" is a common idiom used in both British and American English, and suggests that a meeting or discussion take place during a meal. Note that in this context, "for" does not express the "reason" or "purpose" of the meeting, but rather the "timing" of it.
In this context, "over" doesn't express the sense of something being "finished" or "completed", or the idea of an action taking place "after" another one.
In this context, "over lunch" indicates that the meeting will occur during lunch, and doesn't suggest anything about the meal being late or early.
In this context, "over" doesn't express the sense of something being "finished" or "completed". It's true that in another context, "over" can express this sense, as in the sentence "I'll call you once the meeting is over".

This is correct. To do something "over lunch" is to do it at the same time as eating the midday meal. Some more examples: "We can discuss the project over dinner", "Think about my proposition over the weekend". In this context, "over" shares a similar meaning with "during".
This is not correct. "After lunch" means once the midday meal is "over", or "finished". This is not the meaning of "over" in this context.
This is not correct. To do something "instead of" something else means to do one thing "in the place of", or "rather than" another. Example: "I've decided to go to the party instead of doing my homework". This is not the meaning of "over" in this context.
