Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

delete the reference to the target in p3 if you can not do that then 

delete the target files from the folder

copy the existing file and give it the name of the project  that is the target project

open the project

What happens if you unattach the target project ?. Sounds like someone has the target plan open in Exclusive mode
