The general process is this:
1. Save the corrupted file as an .xml file and close the file
2. Ask your Project Server administrator to delete the project from the
Project Server database
3. Open the .xml project file
4. Click File - Save As and save the file as an .mpp file
5. Import the .mpp file into the Project Server database using Tools -
Enterprise Options - Import Project to Enterprise
Refer to the following FAQ for the steps needed to delete the project
without deleting its SharePoint subweb:

Hope this helps.

Hi,
Just a remark.
If you are working with Managed periods, the procedure is lsightky more
complex because of restriction to push actuals from the client to the server.

Yes, the Managed Time Periods feature needs to be temporarily disabled to
allow the PM to republish the assignments for the imported project. Thanks!

We are using managed periods. I tried the process with a project on our test
server. All the actuals came back fine and I was able to reestablish
timesheets and progress the schedule per usual. Is there something in
particular that I should be looking for? I have yet to try the process on a
larger project in production.
