Project name change problem

I tried what I thought would be a simple but ended up being a naive thing to do in Xcode 8, and under Identity and Type for the top level project name, I thought I could change it there. Instead I had a pop up asking to rename several things and I decided this might be a bad idea after all and wanted to abort.

So I cancelled out of it, and then tried to discard all changes, and the name change had persisted despite that and I could not change it back to the former name.

Is there anything else to do faced with this scenario?

I find the file system and code file naming, etc. one of the hardest things of all to manage.

Xcode doesn't provide the same 'undo' features as more common applications. Best to always have a tested and reliable backup to defend against such cases.
