Future value and NPV

Elgar has $10,000 to invest for five years. He could deposit it in a bank, earning 8% per year compound interest. He has been offered an alternative: investment in a low-risk project expected to produce net cash inflows of $3,000 for each of the first three years, $5,000 in the fourth and $1,000 in the fifth year. choosing which one is better? considering NPV of the project, Elgar can maximise the wealth by $2087. however, considering future value by investing the bank he can get $14,693.28it and it did not increase the wealth. so, is choosing the low-risk project better investment?
