Knowing that Lead-led-led, I find this sentence wrong (from a book available on Google books):
The project is lead by an alliance of three partners, comprising the
GI, the FIZ Karlsruhe (a provider of scientific online information
services) and Springer- Verlag..
Shouldn't there be "led by"?

No, it's not correct. "led by" is always right in this case. "Led" is the past tense of "lead".
