you could achive a similar effect by snapshoting the vm.
deleting the origninal and then creating a new vm form the snapshot.
in either case you will need to share the flavor and image/snapshot with the other users project
and then you can create the new vm.

i assume you chose to shevle the vm and then delete it later so that you could role back if needed?

anyway if you are fine with destroying the original vm and creating a new one form the snapshot
of the vm, and the new project has acess to the correct flavor then yes the workflow you suggest should work.
