I'm using probably the simplest method: `C-x b' offers "future history" (the sequence of suggestions when you hit `M-n' in the minibuffer) and it's isearch-able! So `C-x b' followed by `C-s' and a few letters from the name of the buffer (any part of it). The order in which the future history is organized is the same as in *Buffer List* - recent come first. Other than that, if I completely forget the names, I switch to a dired (I open each project in a dired buffer with -R ls option, so it shows all files). `(setq dired-isearch-filenames t)' helps to isearch there when I see the needed file.
