I've already had a case when I felt that Citadel was a downside, because I couldn't play my trasher only once.

My point was that one could nerf Project effects with an end-of-game penalty, if one would want to nerf them. At the moment, the exploration space of Projects is large enough that you can do without this complexity. But the discussion was over the reason why there are no $2 projects. The reason was that they would be as pointless as the decision whether to use Basilica. But cheap projects are conceivable if there is another downside to them.

Although Canal definitely hurts your trash-for-benefits.

During the previews I managed to draw a hand of 2 provinces and 3 duchies with a Ghosted Priest and Citadel in play...

If I am not mistaken this compacts three Duchies into a Province at a VP loss, which is a bit like Bishoping Provinces.
