Summary
I duplicated a UEFN project and have been working on the duplicated project locally. The project was originally located at:
F:\maps\New folder\myproject
After opening another UEFN project, I later tried to reopen this duplicated project, but it no longer appeared in my list of Local Projects.
UEFN prompted me to sync the project from the server. After syncing, UEFN downloaded another copy to:
D:\uefnprojects\myproject
The problem is that this newly synced copy contains an older version of the project, while all of my latest work is still present in the original F: copy.
I now have two copies of the same project, and I am concerned about opening the original .uefnproject directly because both copies appear to use the same Verse/project identity and island/project ID.

Steps to Reproduce
Duplicate an existing UEFN project.
Save/work on the duplicated project at:
F:\maps\New folder\myproject
Make changes to the duplicated project.
Close the project and open another UEFN project.
Attempt to reopen the duplicated project.
The duplicated project no longer appears in the Local Projects list.
UEFN prompts to sync the project from the server.
Sync the project.
UEFN downloads the project to:
D:\uefnprojects\myproject
The downloaded copy contains an older version, while the original F: copy still contains the latest local changes.
Expected Result
The duplicated project should remain available in the Local Projects list and should be reopenable from its original local location without requiring an unnecessary server sync.
If UEFN does require a server sync, it should either recognize the existing local copy or provide a safe way to reconnect the existing local project without overwriting newer local changes with an older server version.
Observed Result
The original project remains at:
F:\maps\New folder\myproject
and contains all of my latest local changes.
However, UEFN creates/downloads another copy at:
D:\uefnprojects\myproject
which contains an older version of the project from the server.
The original F: project is no longer shown in the Local Projects list, and I am unable to safely open it directly because both copies appear to have the same Verse/project identity and island/project ID.
This leaves me with two copies of the same project, with the latest work only available in the original F: copy.
