So will something like the below do the job?

     Switch to another buffer related to the current project.
   A buffer is related to a project if its `default-directory'
   is inside the directory hierarchy of the project's root.

Sounds good. Except some projects can be inside one another, too.

Btw, AFAIU this command can prompt for a project's root, but the doc
string doesn't mention that important fact.

That is the case for all of the commands in there.

It also cleans up some "invisible" buffers created to service the files
in the project, such as ones created by Flymake, etc.
By "it" what do you mean here? you don't mean
project-switch-to-buffer, do you?  And if so, how is that related to
the issue at hand, which is the doc string of that function?

Sorry, got my wires crossed: this was about project-kill-buffers.

But the rest of the discussion should apply to project-switch-buffer just as well.

BTW, I imagine that the current project-kill-buffers docstring should seem ambiguous to you as well.
