[panetone 3]

I applied for US citizenship in 2014 and abandoned process just when I got interview invite. Plans changed and I thought I would move outside of US - but did not - kept GC).
I am assuming I need to start from scratch with N400?

It's been 9 years.  You have to reapply from scratch with a new N-400.  You may or may not be qualified to apply for citizenship now.
