Cypress tests: too many tests in parallel break the method `visitProjectByName()`

As we now have many Cypress tests running in parallel at the same time, the helper function `visitProjectByName()` tends to break down because the target project is not short-listed on the dashboard. This is caused by the fact that N>=5 projects have been created by other tests before re-visiting the project. This method should be updated to fallback to search or direct URL loading.
