What if we added an "inventorization" step in 
project--ensure-read-project-list? After having the list read, it could 
remove entries that do not exist anymore (and, if the list has been 
modified in this procedure, call project--write-project-list).

This should take care of moved directories, at least once per Emacs session.

If the logic described above still doesn't satisfy your needs, let's add 
a command, sure.

I don't know about a binding, but certainly it's not for 
project-switch-commands.
