I want to invite a foreign person to come to the United States to do certain projects for me without going through a HB1 process. Can this be done legally if the project takes less than 90 days?

Despite the use of the word "legally" in the question, this isn't really asking for legal advice, just visa information.

No. Any sort of work for remuneration, for any duration in the United States, requires a temporary work visa. On a B-1 (business) or B-1/2 (business/tourism) visa, you can only legally:
Negotiate and sign contracts
Purchase supplies or materials
Hold business meetings or attend/exhibit at a convention
Settle an estate
Sit different types of exams and tests held inside the United States
Now there are a number of exceptions, but these are for very specific purposes generally involving employees of foreign companies sent to the US to install/service/consult and would most likely not apply to "doing certain projects".
