Missing Project Build Error For Project That Is Not Missing

I'm getting this build error:
Unable to find project 'C:\Work\Projects\service_v5\Micro_Service_Layer\Cross_Cutting_Service_Layer\CrossCut.IdentityValidation.Logic\CrossCut.IdentityValidation.Logic.csproj'. Check that the project reference is valid and that the project file exists.
Unable to find project 'C:\Work\Projects\service_v5\Micro_Service_Layer\Cross_Cutting_Service_Layer\CrossCut.IdentityValidation.Logic\CrossCut.IdentityValidation.Logic.csproj'. Check that the project reference is valid and that the project file exists.

Yet I right clicked that project in solution explorer, chose "Copy Full Path", and pasted that path into the ProjectReference Include line in the .csproj for the project that is giving the build error.

How can the compiler not be finding that project file? It is ever so clearly there.
