A project can mean many things. If for you it is essentially a set of files (whether under a single directory or located anywhere), then Bookmark+ might be able to help. You can bookmark a set of files and switch to it by "jumping" to the bookmark. You can associate any function with a bookmark, as a handler, so jumping to it can do whatever else you like, as well. You can also bookmark Emacs desktops. When you jump to a desktop bookmark, you switch to its desktop. And you can tag bookmarks with (any number of) arbitrary strings or name+value pairs. Tags are one way to define sets of files/buffers. Other ways include using different bookmark files (and you can bookmark a bookmark-file) or different bookmark-list displays (and you can bookmark a bookmark-list display). http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BookmarkPlus
