Houdini's help does not even contain any info on how to use the projection curve. I couldn't make it work on my side.

You could use the boolean sop instead. Start by using polyextrude on the curves and boolean the result.

Cheers!! Boolean works great. Now i need to save these pieces separately with unique file name. Can you give me some advice? which SOP should i use.

Assemble and pack, split sop using @Frame as the group, unpack, file cache a sequence?

I using “assemble” to divide mesh into pieces, then i try to export each pieces as a unique FBX file within a for-each loop. Obviously my way didn't work, the picture only shows what i am trying to do. so any suggestion? Thank you

This is the final version, you can set number of rows and cols, Cutting the terrain mesh into small pieces and save them separately. Thank you for everyone who helped me.
