Report is totalling minutes of each task

So here's my code for generating the report. The report is meant to display the minutes total for each project but it actually keeps breaking it down into individual tasks. As you can see below.

Report

Is there a reason for this you can see in the code. Or something to do with the data I've already put into the database?

reports.php 
<?php
require 'inc/functions.php';

$page = "reports";
$pageTitle = "Reports | Time Tracker";
$filter = 'all';

include 'inc/header.php';
?>
<div class="col-container page-container">
    <div class="col col-70-md col-60-lg col-center">
        <div class="col-container">
            <h1 class='actions-header'>Reports</h1>
        </div>
        <div class="section page">
            <div class="wrapper">
                <table>

                <?php 

                    $total = $project_id = $project_total = 0;
                    $tasks = get_task_list($filter);

                    foreach($tasks as $item) {

                        if ($project_id != $item['project_id']) {
                            $project_id = $item['project_id'];
                            echo "<thead>\n";
