You do not need to change it. The project itself can depend on the
variable(s), i.e. instead of different versions of the same project X, you
make X dependent on the scenario variables.

E.g.:

project X is

   type Development_Type is ("Debug", "Release");
   Development : Development_Type := external ("Development", "Debug");

   type Platform_Type is ("x86_Windows", "x86_VxWorks");
   Platform : Platform_Type := external ("Platform", "x86_Windows");

   case Platform is
      when "x86_Windows" =>
         for Source_Dirs use Dirs & "os/Windows/i586";
         case Development is
            when "Debug" =>
               for Object_Dir use "lib/x86/Windows/Debug";
            when "Release" =>
               for Object_Dir use "lib/x86/Windows/Release";
         end case;
      when "x86_VxWorks" =>
   ...
etc.

The project Y may simply

with "x.gpr";
project Y is
   ...

Y can share the variables Development and Platform. (Copy type and variable
declaration into Y, when necessary)
