This is misleading/incomplete information.

To be more accurate, M-W[1,2] gives "pres·ent" and "proj·ect" for these words when they are nouns. But it gives "pre·sent" and "pro·ject" for the respective verbs...

rec·i·proc·i·ty
re·cog·ni·zance
ref·or·ma·tion
ret·ri·bu·tion
ta·ble

TeX gives these break-points for your word list :

as-so-ciate
as-so-ciates
dec-li-na-tion
oblig-a-tory
phil-an-thropic
present
presents
project
projects

...and that's why DEK explicitly suppressed hyphenation of these words using the \hyphenation{...} exceptions list. TeX doesn't know whether they are nouns or verbs in any particular case, and so it would be unable to choose the appropriate break.
