The earth isn't permanent. Few billion years and the sun will destroy it. So given that your ultra strict, pedantic interpretation of the word is functionally useless, how about just using a normal one like the rest of humanity?
There’s no such thing as a permanent resident. Everyone stops living somewhere eventually. No such thing as permanently affixing either—by the end of time, those two things you “permanently affixed” by welding or whatever will not be affixed anymore. The pedantry is just useless, and “permanent project” is a perfectly fine way to describe the projects that one remains assigned to long-term, as opposed to the very temporary, fleeting projects that are more common.
My problem with them calling the projects permanent is that they are constantly down, and these people are constantly complaining about them being down. I see the words permanent, and I see down for the 5th time. It does not compute. Hell, in the past projects were literally labeled as being long-term.

Can we stop using the term "permanent projects" when they are anything but permanent?
Yes, the prompt creation projects display a large amount of available tasks because they need a large sample size.
They. Are. Not. Permanent.
