Make “Contracts” a subrule of “Projects”, rename it to “Reviews” and reword it to:-
If the Great Eccentric has not Reviewed a Project in the previous 48 hours, the Great Eccentric may Review a random Dreamed Project by taking the following atomic action:
* Make a blog post stating the name of the Project being reviewed.
* Resolve the resource ranges in the Project’s estimation, and list this in the contract. This is known as the Project’s Cost.
* Set the Project’s Prize to the total number of Resources in its Cost.
* Change the status of the Project to Contracted.A Contractor may construct a Contracted Project by paying the Project’s Cost from their Resources and increasing their Funds by the Contract’s Prize (minus $1B for every full 72 hours that have passed since the project became Contracted).
If a Project was constructed more than 24 hours ago, any Contractor may change that Project’s Status to Finished.
To the bullet list in “Projects”, add:-
* a prize (either a number or “Unknown”)
Set the Prize of all Projects to “Unknown”.
Planning my next move - and assuming auction patches to resolve ties - the obvious one is to bid as low as possible on any projects I don’t intend to complete (and/or which I can see that other players are more likely to complete). Maybe we don’t actually need two auction systems here.

There’s no bite to this system. No committing. No danger.
You’re right that bidding low on projects you don’t intend to complete is a good tactic currently, but I think the solution is to increase responsibility for failing, not to decrease ownership of projects.
