Is there any way that I can force a client to re-launch a project. Sometimes saving a project after some updates does some funky stuff on the screen, but it resolves itself if you just reopen the project. Any way to do that with a script?

The most literal answer to your question is:

But it'll only do anything if you actually have a pending project update.

The closest thing to a general purpose "refresh" would probably be a retarget to the same gateway/project/etc:
