To be clear: I was neither suggesting any kind of support for opening the same project in different IDEs (Creator, KDevelop) beyond what already exists, and not even to open the same project at the same time in multiple copies of the same IDE. It would of course be nice to have persistent project-specific parsing information that speeds up operations when you reopen the project but in a way that's icing on the cake if the basic performance is fast enough.

That said, Creator does spend a considerable amount of time parsing, looking for tests. etc when you open a larger project (like its own sources) - a bit too much when you just want to open a project for a few quick checks or edits. KDevelop can be worse in this aspect but there you can deactive the full project-parse-on-open.
