Hy,

if you have upgraded to 8.0 WindowsPhoone you can no longer perform in WindowsPhone downgrade to 7.1, my advice if you want to continue to develop for both operating systems keep 2 copies of the project

No it won't. Keep it in 7.1 if you don't make use of any special features available only in 8.0. Or maintain two project version as explained in Nokia Developer Community Wiki if you need some feature in 8.0 platform but want to keep support for 7.1. You can submit two .XAP version -for WP 8.0 and 7.1- for one application in Windows Phone Marketplace.

You cannot convert a windows phone 8 app to Windows Phone 7.1, but you can target both versions. Details on how the whole process works can be found here.
