Unable to FORCE INDEX on LEFT JOIN subquery?

I have a complicated query which involves a subquery inside a LEFT JOIN statement. The process time is ~2s. If I replace the subquery with a temporary table, I hit the same ~2s. If I create an index in the temporary table, I have ~0.05s.

I am trying to figure out why I can't work with Mysql USE INDEX or FORCE INDEX directly in the LEFT JOIN STATEMENT.

Here is a simple query which will return a 'check your mysql syntax' error.

SELECT * 
FROM table1 t1 
LEFT JOIN (SELECT id_project FROM table2) t2 
FORCE INDEX FOR JOIN (id_project) 
   ON (t2.id_project = t1.id_project);

Why can't I use a FORCE INDEX with a LEFT JOIN subquery?

--edit: here is the actual query returning mysql error

SELECT  
    p.id_projet, pa.piste_affaire, ty.type, p.e_force, gr.groupe, p.client, p.intitule_affaire,

                /* if I delete that line, everything works as intended with ~2s query*/

Why the subquery? Try this:

SELECT * 
FROM table1 t1 
LEFT JOIN table2 t2 
FORCE INDEX FOR JOIN (id_project) 
ON (t2.id_project = t1.id_project);

You probably won't even need to force the index with the above query.
