Yes, that's a possibility. You can even create more stuff in this 
Projects class like createProject, removeProject and stuff like this. If 
 these tasks are pretty static and you don't need multiple instances of 
the Projects class then you can implement it completely statically so 
you don't need to instanciate the class:

class Projects
{
    private static $projects = array();

    public static function getAll()
    {
        return self::$projects;
    }

    public static function add(Project $project)
    {
        self::$projects[] = $project;
    }
}

So now you can do this to get the projects:

  $projects = Projects::getAll();

Adding objects to the list can be done by the constructor of the Project 
class:

function __construct()
{
    Projects::add($this);
}
