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

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.
