it's unclear why we would standardize the other namespace
names (Help:, Template:, MediaWiki:, User:, etc.) from one wiki to the
next, but not Project:

The User: namespace differs per-wiki in many languages other than English, to reflect the name of 
the wiki (something akin to "Wikipedia-editor", "Wikisource-editor" etc.).

I don't think standardizing Project: is a good idea, in particular because the name could 
be confused with "Wikiprojects", which on some wikis (also non-English) have a 
separate namespace for them.
