Until tomorrow

Question

1) I will have worked on this project for a week until tomorrow.2)  will have been working on this project for a week until tomorrow.My teacher taught us "until" can express "duration" so we don't need to use "the future perfect" this time.1') I will  work on this project for a week until tomorrow.2)'  will be working on this project for a week until tomorrow.What my teacher said is right?

No, and none of those sentences makes sense. They should read:

1) I will have worked on this project for a week by tomorrow.
2) will have been working on this project for a week by tomorrow.

The others should be transformed to this structure.

Thank you,Mister Micawber
1) I will have worked on this project for a week by tomorrow.
2) will have been working on this project for a week by tomorrow.

Can we use "when" instead?

For example:
1') I will have worked on this project for a week when you arrive here.
2') will have been working on this project for a week when you arrive here.

Mister Micawber,Thank you so much.
Thanks to your explanation I'm understanding..

1') I will work on this project for a week until tomorrow.
2') will be working on this project for a week until tomorrow.

I' d like to know What is wrong with the sentences above.
The part of "for a week"?

I'm trying to find some other ways of expressing the sentences 3),4)below.
I had the sentences 1'),2')above in mind,but it seems impossible

3)I will have worked on this project for a week by tomorrow.
4)I will have been working on this project for a week by tomorrow.

In this case,we have to use "the future perfect"?
