project.py: Fix check for wild cardsv2.7

The intention of the check is to verify whether the target
file name contains a wild card. The code, however, assumes
that if the file is non-existent - it contains a wild card.
This has the side effect that a target file that does not
exist at the moment of the check is considered to contain a
wild card, this leads itself to softlink not being created.
