I'm quite sure it will, for two reasons:
1) Vaccine development in itself was no doubt a historical achievement and will go down in history books. Regardless of causality, Project Warp Speed will be there by association.
2) It is a meme that legitimizes government spending. "We need a project warp speed for FooBar" will be a powerful way to get things funded, in particular by republicans in the US, for many years to come.
