Rename app in google play store

I published my app in google play store and tried to find it. But I found it by project name. My project name wasn't like app name.

But many people installed my app. How can I change the name without uploading a new app?

Project name is: quarrynew

App name is: quarry

I changed my project name and uploaded it. But it wasn't changed. I'm waiting a few days.

People can find my application by typing "quarrynew". But never find it by typing "quarry".

Application name is "quarry". Only project name and filename was "quarrynew".

<string name="app_name">Quarry</string>

The project name will not be used in Google Play Store. And the "app_name" is generally used for your title bar or as title in the android launcher,desktop,..
