Semantics

This message is used to inform the PM about the properties of a new project or a change in properties of an old project. I the project has just been created and no decisions are applied to the root-goal, the PM will store the given information to perform consistency checks, once decisions are applied. If the project has already proceeded, the PM will directly perform a number of consistency-checks.
Note, that the RootGoal is used to identify the project if multiple projects are modelled on the same Redux'-agent. It is not possible to change the root-goal of a project with this message.
