You can change everything later in the project mode because Qt Creator is a 
"general purpose" IDE that allows you to change settings even if they are 
usually not TheRightThing(tm) to do and might break your stuff.
The new project wizard is, well, a wizard, meaning that it tries to get you up 
and running with at least pain as possible, therefore reducing configuration 
options significiantly.

To the specific question about shadow building and Harmattan/Simulator targets:
when not doing shadow building, switching between different targets would be 
very painful, since old object and other generated files for the wrong platform 
tend to lie around in the build folder in that case, screwing up the build.
