Validation Rule (Checkbox and Picklist Combo)

I'm trying to write a validation rule where if a checkbox is check then certain values cannot be used.  I've tried a couple of different variations but the validation is firing when it shouldn't be.
  
#1
AND(
Project_Phase__r.Project__r.Capital_Project__c = FALSE, 
OR( 
ISPICKVAL(Accounting_Category__c,'App Dev Phase - Analysis' ) , 
ISPICKVAL(Accounting_Category__c,'App Dev Phase - Design ' ) , 
ISPICKVAL(Accounting_Category__c,'App Dev Phase - Build' ), 
ISPICKVAL(Accounting_Category__c,'App Dev Phase - Implementation' ), 
ISPICKVAL(Accounting_Category__c,'App Dev Phase - Testing' )
))


#2
AND( 
OR( 
ISPICKVAL(Accounting_Category__c,"App Dev Phase - Analysis") , 
ISPICKVAL(Accounting_Category__c,"App Dev Phase - Design") , 
ISPICKVAL(Accounting_Category__c,"App Dev Phase - Build"), 
ISPICKVAL(Accounting_Category__c,"App Dev Phase - Implementation"), 
ISPICKVAL(Accounting_Category__c,"App Dev Phase - Testing), 
OR( 
Project_Phase__r.Project__r.Capital_Project__c = FALSE )))

I listed 2 ways I tried to do the validation.  
The desired behavior is that if the Capital Project Checkbox is not checked on the Project object to not allow the user to select 1 of the 5 accounting categories I have listed.

Hi,

Can you please try with it?

AND(OR(ISPICKVAL(Accounting_Category__c,"App Dev Phase - Analysis"),ISPICKVAL(Accounting_Category__c,"App Dev Phase - Design"),ISPICKVAL(Accounting_Category__c,"App Dev Phase - Build"),ISPICKVAL(Accounting_Category__c,"App Dev Phase - Implementation"),ISPICKVAL(Accounting_Category__c,"App Dev Phase - Testing)),Project_Phase__r.Project__r.Capital_Project__c = FALSE )

It's still generating the error when it shouldn't be.

Thank you Mudasir.   I think I figured out that there was nothing wrong with my validation or your validation.  The page it's displaying on is part of a 3rd party package.  I believe it's an issue with their package and not with the validation.
