Is there any way I can repair it or otherwise open it?
Yes. Put the original name back. You can't change Project names outside of Audacity.

You can open the AUP file in a text editor (don't save anything) and read it. The original name is in there.

Post back if it didn't work. There are other things that can go wrong.
