Use your operating system's access control system. Create a group for 
each project, and assign people to the groups they are allowed to be in. 
You will have to determine, in conjunction with your project leaders, 
which projects new users will have access to, by default.

And, of course, get the managers and project leaders on side to explain 
that changing project files they haven't been assigned to will result in 
disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
