Not to sound cruel, but if you allowed 2 weeks of work to happen without periodically exporting and backing up your work, then it's really your fault you're in this situation. As a best practice, you should:
1. Automate nightly exports of all development projects
2. Automate nightly file system backups of all development projects
3. Periodically make your own personal backups in case someone/something else isn't doing their job.
If you go to the directory that houses the project and it's empty, chances are something did an "rm -r *" without a fully qualified path, or the path was a variable that evaluated to blank. In either case, this is a seriously beginner mistake in programming, which is never execute a recursive delete without ensuring you know exactly where the delete is going to begin. So I suggest you also figure out what did this so that it doesn't repeat.
To reconsistitute the project, you should try to find a backup to restore the directory, but unfortunately for you the recovery will put you back to how the project looked when it was backed up. After that, hunt around and find any and all ways to try to get some of your work recovered.
Worst case, start over. Your situation is no different then deleting the contents of c:\ without a backup. Sorry.
