This is the reason why I don't like to nest project in year folders, but rather prefer to append the year as a prefix to the name of the archived project folder – or even year and month with YYMM, like "1705-projectName" for May 2017. But you could use "2017_projectName" too, to make the year more visible. And if you consider bulking renaming like that, some utilities do allow that.
So, I can have an overview of all the projects at once. It makes them easier to find.
And thanks for your article!
I like the + sign, I did use underscore to achieve the same purpose, but it was a bit confusing with underscore also used as a separator. So I'm taking you this tip. ;-)

update: The prepended "+" plus sign caused me here and there some troubles with IDEs, so I got back to "_" underscore :-)
