Hi,

one can achieve that be defining different Preferences in the Bundle Editor for a given scope(s).
Simply create a new preference file in the Bundle Editor, set the Scope Selector, and as command:

{ completionCommand = '
…YOUR_SCRIPT…
'}

As an example you can e.g. look into C's bundle "Header Completion (System)", "Header Completion (User)".

In YOUR_SCRIPT one can query TM_PROJECT_*, accumulate the completion suggestions, and pipe them back to TM as one suggestion per line.

An other approach can be to use "$DIALOG" via the internal Ruby bridge command TextMate::UI.complete to come up with a narrow-down completion list. See e.g. bundle command "Objective-C" > "Completion: Inside @selector" and the script itself in …/Bundles/Objective-C.tmbundle/bin/objc_selector_completions2.rb
