    You will need a possibly 'overbuilt' reference face, created off profile and guide curves in the U and V direction of this object. See "Loft" in the learning section for further information. Then, you can project your sketch curve onto that surface and get the desired 3D curves.

    Constrained surface makes this a freak'n breeze. Man I wish I had that tool 9 months ago. Wasn't sure what your design intent was. I just made a piece that was offset down a smidge from the top and inset into the opening.

    No need for profiles, guide curves, tangencies, end conditions, paths, etc.

    Note: learning the surfacing tools does help with this sort of thing to understand what is happening. and making edits easier.
