First off, I apologize for the silly and extremely dated title, but Sullla liked it and it fits with Japan so we left it in.
Yeah the behavior of projects caught me by surprise too.
- Projects only exist for a player (civilization). They are not tied to any city. It's true - build the Apollo Program or Internet normally, and it will not exist in the city that built it. So Kyoto did not need to be pre-settled.
- Worldbuilder has no means to add a project. I had to save the map as a worldbuilder save, then edit the text file to add The Internet to team 0, copying the line from another game that had built the Internet normally and I'd also saved as worldbuilder. (Gandhi the Giving keeps on giving.

)
- And there is no means in-game (that I know of) to see what projects you have. So your Internet is invisible. But trust me, it will work, you will see it as soon as you start contacting other civs.
