In fact, in PROJ the ETRS89 -> ETRF2000 -> ITRF2000 -> ITRF2014 route gives 
identical results to ETRS89 -> ETRF2000 -> ITRF2014, and this also has only one 
intermediate CRS:



projinfo -s epsg:7931 -t epsg:7912

Operation No. 1:

unknown id, Conversion from ETRF2000 (geog3D) to ETRF2000 (geocentric) + 
Inverse of ITRF2014 to ETRF2000 (1) + Conversion from ITRF2014 (geocentric) to 
ITRF2014 (geog3D), 0 m



projinfo -s epsg:8403 -t epsg:7912

Operation No. 1:

unknown id, Conversion from ETRF2014 (geog3D) to ETRF2014 (geocentric) + 
Inverse of ITRF2014 to ETRF2014 (2) + Conversion from ITRF2014 (geocentric) to 
ITRF2014 (geog3D), 0 m



If it is not the number of steps, what makes PROJ not choose ETRS89 -> ETRF2000 
-> ITRF2014 but  ETRS89 -> ETRF2014 -> ITRF2014 instead? And what would need to 
be changed in the database to change that transformation route?
